Tree Allies: Ecospirituality and Ecopsychology
Nature Therapy means listening to nature. The language of nature is sensation, there are no words, you must listen with your heart. It is a feeling, not academic.

This is ecospirituality (when the natural world speaks nonverbally) and ecopsychology (when the outer natural landscape mirrors the inner psychological landscape). As above, so below.
