One-on-One Ecotherapy
Ecotherapy allows us to deepen into our bodies as part of the larger earth body, to regulate with the soothing holding energy of the elements. Nature offers the sacred healing that allows us to more fully experience our senses, drop into our bodies, and let go of toxic anxiety and stress; to access the seeds of our neurosis through noticing, intuiting, and breathing; to connect, restore, and deepen. We see that we are capable and connected. Stepping into wilderness opens up an inner faith, a faith in ourselves, in each other, and in the earth, to hold us, to be enough, to be all we need. This is healing. Individual ecotherapy is available for teens and adults. Axis Mundi also offers couples/relationship ecotherapy.
