Animism is the understanding that the natural world is alive, relational and has its own spirit, presence or agency.

Rather than seeing nature as a collection of objects — a tree, a river, a mountain, an animal — animistic traditions understand these beings as subjects we can be in relationship with.
For example, an animistic perspective might ask:
• What can I learn from this tree?
• How might I relate to this river, rather than simply use it?
• What happens when I experience the forest as a living community?
• What is my relationship with the more-than-human world?
In Eco-Psychotherapy, this can create a significant shift from “therapy in nature” to “therapy in relationship with nature.”

Exploring the animism of nature is part of our journey into Eco-Psychotherapy.

What a beautiful time we had on Darkinjung country at our recent Eco-Therapy Retreat

Our bush classroom became the perfect place to slow down, reconnect and learn —tears shared with trees, Labyrinth sound healing, plenty of moments of laughter and joy and SPACE & REST!!

✨ Star-gazing under wide open skies
🔥 Cosy fires and warm evenings
🌳 being with and held by country in community.

There’s something very special about stepping away from the everyday and allowing nature to become part of the therapeutic process.
So grateful for the connections, the vulnerability, the wisdom and the wildness that we shared.

Until the next retreat… (Autumn 2027)

Good therapists aren't made by reading textbooks alone.
Knowledge matters.
But psychotherapy is a relational practice.
It asks us to be present with uncertainty, emotion, complexity, and ourselves.
That's why our training is deeply experiential.
Students don't simply learn Gestalt theory—they practise it, embody it, and discover what it means to meet another person with genuine presence.
If you're looking for training that values both professional excellence and personal growth, we'd love to welcome you.
✨ Applications are open for upcoming programs.

A day to reflect & acknowledge…

20/05/2026

We are shaped in relationship — and we also heal in relationship.
Many of us carry patterns of adapting, withdrawing, over-functioning, or struggling to express what we truly feel and need. In a supportive therapeutic group, these patterns can gently come into awareness and begin to shift through real, human connection.

Our relational process groups offer an experiential and supportive space to explore yourself more deeply alongside others. Through present-moment awareness, authentic dialogue, body-focused exploration, and shared experience, group work can support greater clarity, resilience, self-trust, and connection.

People often find this kind of group unexpectedly powerful — not because advice is given, but because being witnessed, met, and understood within a group can create profound movement and change.

This group may support you if you are:
✨ navigating relationship challenges
✨ feeling isolated, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck
✨ wanting deeper self-awareness and personal growth
✨ curious about how you relate with others
✨ seeking a more embodied and authentic way of being

A new relational process group begins in July 2026.
Northern Beaches, Sydney, meeting fortnightly Tuesday evenings

4 sweet days on Darkinjung country for our Autumn gestalt residential.

We gathered in deep presence—learning, unlearning, and gently stretching into conversations around culture, privilege, and psychotherapy. Threads of Eco therapy wove us back into relationship with land, body, and each other.

There was space for truth-telling, for listening, for softening. And under the May full moon, we let our nervous systems settle—held by country, by community, by something older and wiser than all of us.

Beautifully held and so generously hosted by

Grateful for the courage, the connection, and the quiet transformations that unfolded 🌕
