ec^otreat journey™ PROGRAMS:

PURPOSE: The goal of all EcoPlace offerings is to enliven the mutually supportive and inherently healing powers of universal energy through deeper connections to nature

PROCESS: Participation in individual and/or group indoor and outdoor nature-reconnecting activities using effective, tested applied ecopsychology practices. Small groups and individual...guided and self-directed.

BENEFITS: Awaken the heart through experiencing, caring, and sharing. Stimulate sensory awareness, creativity, and compassion. Expand human/other interactions with nature...around and within. Foster more loving relationships with Earth, others, and self.

Love...

the experience of

Love is not doing; it is being.

To experience love, you must connect with yourself. And to surest way to get there is to go outside.

Step out your door and into nature where love dwells in the pure relationship shared by all things. It is in the sun, in the rain, in the trees, in the birds, in the grass...and in the person standing next to you.

And how will you know when you have connected to nature? You can't know it because it's not in your head. You must look at all other beings...you must see how beautiful they are...and even if it's hard, you must keep looking.

If you want love, go no further. You have it. You are already connected. You are love.

But you must work at it, and see it, and feel it. And it takes practice...every moment of every day.

Reach out to embrace Nature's wisdom; it's the wisdom in you!

Christina Brittain, EcoPlace founder, believes as Shaki Gwain does, that a healer is someone who helps and supports people			in the process of learning to trust their own inner truths, and to live more fully and freely.
House and garden are inseparable. They are complementary and supplementary. Two sides of the same door...We think of 'house' and 'garden,' but seldom of 'home' as a unit greater than mere house and garden. ~ Garrett Eckbo
