Ecopsychology Overview


What is Eco-psychology?

Eco-psychology is the study of how we effect nature and nature effects us. In essence, its about how we are nature, and how we can get back in harmony with who and how we really are. Sound complicated? It’s really easy to practice.

Eco-psychology Activities include:


Eco-psychology walks , gentle strolls through nature to help us reconnect to our senses, to connect with our inner guidance system and intuition. Sometimes the simplest activity can provide profound results.


Vision Walks, (a concept developed by Brandt Morgan), allow us to get real time answers to personal questions while in the natural world. Think “Vision Quest” on a smaller, more immediate, more accessible level.


Sailing Trips are done in connection with Aquarian Quest, a local environmental education organization. We do basic nature sails and special holiday/theme sails, such as Halloween and Winter Solstice sails. On some of these trips we practice our meditative nature techniques to enhance our experience. Mostly, we just have a lot of fun!

Kayak Trips through the local rivers and Sarasota Bay are relaxing and give us great views of manatees, dolphin, birds, crabs and fish of many kinds!


Bonfire Programs are old fashioned fun with food, story telling songs and appreciation of the night wildlife and night sky.


Animal Encounters include horseback riding and horse encounters; field trips to see manatees; early morning turtle walks; and more
