What is Ecopsychology? Â
Ecopsychology is an interdisciplinary field that recognizes the interrelation of the human psyche and the more than human world. Since the dawning of the industrial age there has grown an increasing disconnect between humans and their ecology, the result being a sense of isolation and disconnect between one's pysche and environment. This isolation is not natural. We find with this separation we've lost integral components of our own psyche and spirit. Ecopsychology is a practice of healing, or wholing this fragmentation and reclaiming one's birth rite as an indigenous being in the larger collective.
