Moving from “me” to “we,” she reflects on how our practices, systems, and mindsets can evolve toward a more ethical, embodied, and relational way of belonging. Key Ideas Explored The move from extraction to relationship — recognising nature as a living partner, not a service. From “me” to “we” — human development as a journey toward community and interconnection. The many meanings of ecotherapy and why values and worldview matter more than labels. The power of shared outdoor activity — fire, craft, and stillness as natural therapy. Reclaiming the roots of eco and therapy — caring for our shared home and one another. Nature-centric models that place humans within the circle of life, not above it. The need to move beyond individual healing to include the health of the Earth. Western culture’s mindset of extraction and the call for reciprocity and re-education. Bringing nature-based practice into health and education systems despite structural barriers. Seeing bullying and domination as symptoms of fear and disconnection from relationship. The importance of moral courage, ethical conduct, and grounded self-worth in our work. Community ecotherapy and deep ecology as ways to restore belonging and collective care.
