Diving into the Wild Soul

Eco-psychology and Psychosynthesis Retreat

We live in times of urgency – ecologically, socially and spiritually. We are deeply connected to the living world, but most of us are living without experiencing it. Eco-psychology not only gives us explanations of how and why we react to the stress put on the planet by human influence. It also offers a world view where humans are interconnected with all living beings, and a way to find our path back to an experience of wholeness and wonder!

This retreat inspires you to reconnect to nature and your own Wild Soul, the collective ecological unconscious where we are all one with life and other beings on the planet. It also gives you some tools that you can share with others privately or professionally. Relating to wholeness instead of parts gives a certain mystery and magic. We will explore and find ways to choose connection instead of the separation our culture has taught us to live in. In that way we can inspire others to do the same and thus be part of an important change in the collective.

Set in the beauty of the Swedish countryside, this in-depth retreat offers us an opportunity to explore our relationship to the living world. We will dive into the physical experience of being with nature, but also the theoretical understanding about what happens with us when we do. Connecting eco-psychological theory with psychosynthesis concepts, we will deepen our understanding about how a relationship with nature also deepens our relationship to the Self or the Wild Soul. This course gives you a certificate of 20 training hours.
