Eco-arts therapy is a marriage of ecotherapy and creative arts therapy, where therapeutic art-making is explored with and in nature. It’s also referred to as environmental arts therapy, eco-art therapy or nature-based expressive arts therapy. Ecotherapy works by bringing nature back into human beings’ lives, in the ways indigenous cultures have not forgotten. If you’ve ever felt the ease from walking on the beach, or enjoying the quiet solitude of being in the forest, then you’ll know the ability for nature to heal. By combining this with art-making, you’ll reawaken to your wild, ancient self, guided by the therapist and mother nature.
