Holos Institue’s Ecopsychology Certificate Program: 100+ hour training both with online webinars and three in-person retreats. Learn best practices of ecotherapy, address climate change related grief and anxiety, and considerations of how people are shaped by environment. This program is suited for therapists, anyone interested in bringing more of the natural world into their work and anyone concerned about the environment and wanting skills to address and be guides of these concerns.

This deeply experiential and transformative program teaches the practical skills and considerations of ecotherapy, as a widely expanding and highly effective process of engaging the natural world as “co-therapist”. It looks at the components of ecotherapy and ecopsychology from a somatic and depth psychology perspective, with considerations of social justice, environmental justice and the many ways that we are shaped by our environments. It takes a trauma informed focus on addressing ways to ease eco-anxiety and work with grief and dispair about the state of the world.

The program addresses the current need for guides who can be creative, collaborative, sensitive to the pressures of our environment while directly addressing the need for connection, resilience, and environmental reciprocity.

In the presence of timeless dharma wisdom, a sangha to share the path, and your own awakened nature, you will lift yourself out of habit and touch the preciousness of life.  

This weekend offers you space to breathe deeply and recommit to all you hold dear.

When you come on a DharmaBridge LIVE retreat, you’ll experience a hand-picked selection of teachings and techniques from the lineages of Buddhism, Śaiva & Śakta Tantra, & modern psychology.  You’ll open up the dense structures of mind, shift perspective, and generate compassionate attitudes and actions.

Our practices will emphasize meditation and interactive (“antenna”) listening, but may also include writing inquiry, creativity, breath work, mantra, movement, and asana.

You’ll see how these transformative approaches can weave into daily life, keeping your awareness fresh and your heart clear as you move through a living world.

There is a tremendous sense of possibility that arises when a group of serious yogis and teachers come together for deep practice, quiet and sangha.  In this annual retreat, we will once again enjoy nourishing vegetarian food, hikes, hang out at the pond or hot tub, listen to those rooted in the local ecosphere, share with a delightful group of yogis committed to this time together, and rest in the support of the natural world and our practice.  Each day there will be long asana sessions – active and passive, along with breath-work, meditation, and a mandala workshop (optional). 

”Simplify and slow down in elegance. Rest and reconnect to home”
Gia Bedell
“Mary’s annual summer solstice retreat is truly something I look forward to all year. While there is an abundance of yoga retreats one might attend, this is a special and one of a kind opportunity to study with a seasoned veteran of deep, internal practice and the broader, modern applications of yoga as social activism. The group is a lovely blend of ages and abilities that melds into a kind, generous, group of dedicated and game yogis.”
