About This Course
Modern life has created a growing distance between people and the natural world, contributing to stress, anxiety, disconnection, and climate-related emotional distress.

The program bridges psychotherapy, mindfulness practice, environmental science, indigenous wisdom, and clinical care. It is especially relevant for clinicians working with anxiety, trauma, grief, youth mental health, climate distress, and patients who feel disconnected from nature or community.
