nature therapy

Nature therapy, also known as green therapy or eco-therapy, is a form of psychotherapy with nature as a facilitator. The therapy takes place outside in nature, for example in a forest, by the sea or another natural area. Here we use nature as a therapeutic tool. In addition to conversations, we also use sensory exercises, meditations, silent walks and other mindfulness exercises. 

Nature has a positive effect on our health and well-being, calming our nervous system and attention. Research shows that being in nature helps to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, improve concentration and memory, reduce depression, increase pain threshold, improve mood and calm the nervous system, among other things.

At Ing.borg, we blend practical animism with nature therapy to achieve a deeper nature connection. We seek to raise awareness and engage with nature in an equal way. We seek to open up collaboration with the non-human world through practical animism.

Humans have always had a kinship with nature, whether the feeling is conscious or unconscious. Animism is the awareness of this kinship, being part of an animate nature full of relationships with a non-human world. Opening up to this world allows us to experience deeper exchange and dialog with what we call nature. As we are nature, this dialog reflects what is happening within us, our own inner processes, which can be a useful therapeutic tool

In therapy, we can also use shamanic tools. The process will be tailored to the individual and together we will find the methods that work best for you.
