Book Study & Rerooting Practices
Join us for a unique gathering tailored to you as a clinician, blending deep dialogue with Earth-rooting practice. Together, we’ll explore The Nature Embedded Mind: How the Way We Think Can Heal Our Planet and Ourselves—not just as a book, but as a living invitation to transform how we perceive, relate, and belong.
Each session combines reflective book study with embodied “rerooting practices”. These gatherings are a space to learn together, feel deeply, and reconnect with the more-than-human world as an ally in our healing.
Whether you’re new to this work or already walking this path, you’re warmly welcome. Come as you are. Leave a little more grounded, connected, and alive.

are you ready to deepen your relationship to the rest of Nature?
why join us?
Western psychology was shaped inside an anthropocentric worldview that centers humans as the superior species and disregards our relationship with our other-than-human kin.
The anxiety, depression, burnout, and disconnection we treat every day are not just individual pathologies. They are symptoms of an original trauma: being mentally and culturally severed from the rest of Nature.
This six-week immersive course invites clinicians, therapists, and healing professionals to explore how to reRoot psychology back into the web of life.
Through guided reading, discussion, and nature-informed practice, we will explore how to:
🌱 Recognize how an anthropocentric worldview shapes both client and clinician
🌱 Reclaim the body and senses as gateways to ecological attunement
🌱 Reimagine mental health as a function of belonging within our living Earth
🌱 Integrate nature-embedded principles into existing clinical practice
The next horizon of healing is not another intervention or technique. It is a transformation of the very foundation of psychology itself.
Our field can no longer thrive within a worldview of separation. As we restore our relationship with the living Earth, we begin to reorient psychology toward life itself — a practice grounded in reciprocity, belonging, and the intelligence of the planet we call home.
Applications open in Spring 2026. Join the waitlist below to be notified when the doors open.
