This course examines the relational foundations of
ecotherapy from a systems perspective that
encompasses our relationships with the
other-than-human world and reclaiming our
birthright to feel more at home on the earth. The
concepts of sympoiesis and sympoiethics, sense of
place, nature language, and human rewilding will
be explored to reclaim our bodies as home, and the
importance of integrating sense and sentience into
our therapy practices. It combines an in-depth
study of the role of the body and creative
expression as agents of change and of the
development of an artistic sensibility for the
therapeutic process. Limited to CTSP students
finishing their first year in the program.
