Being in relationship with the earth: A spiritual path?

If climate change is a symptom of our dysfunctional relationship with the earth, a step towards healing includes spending time on the land, listening to, and communing with, the other-than-human world. This opens the door to a different order of reality, an experience of living inside a conscious, sacred matrix; an ancient way of being. Along the way there may be many difficult and painful encounters with the shadow of our dominant culture; when this is honored our ecological crisis can then become an extraordinary portal of modern times. I will give some examples of how these issues come into sessions with clients and how I might enable clients to make a relationship with Nature. This includes working outdoors.
