Ecotherapy
What is ecotherapy?
Ecotherapy is a grounded approach to healing that involves engaging in outdoor activities amidst the beauty and serenity of nature.
The charity MIND describes it as a structured form of therapy led by trained professionals (sometimes therapists), who are there to guide and support you through your journey of healing & self-discovery.
People sometimes use different words to describe ecotherapy, depending on whether the activity has an emphasis on exercise, gardening (horticulture), craft or therapy. Some of the other words include:
Green Care ~ Green Exercise ~ Nature Therapy ~ Horticulture Therapy
At The Wild Remedy, we believe that the natural world is a powerful healer, and that by immersing yourself in its beauty, you can find peace, clarity, and inner strength.
Our focus is on helping you to tap into this healing power to improve your mental & physical well-being, and to reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
