What if better mental and physical health could be found not in the next downloadable app, the next hack, or the next Instagram post, but in something very simple: going outside and remembering that you are part of the living world?   That's the introduction to ecotherapy. It's not a trend. It's not a luxury. And it's definitely not just for nature lovers or tree huggers. Ecotherapy is for anyone whose nervous system is exhausted, whose mind is noisy, whose body feels disconn

Nature offers a regulating presence that always invites us to be more mindful and grounded without saying a word. Entering nature does not always happen from a place of calm.
