Ecological spiritual health affirms kinship, sacred interconnectedness and ecological belonging. Eco-ctherapists offer:
Support for climate anxiety and grief
Earth-based rituals and ceremonies for life transitions
Nature-based psychedelic support for PTSD, end-of-life anxiety, and other mental health challenges
Crisis care for climate change disasters and support for eco-justice initiatives
Ecological belonging, identity and nature connection
Stewarding and caring for plants, animals, land, and every aspect of the eco-system as a network of relations rather than resources to be exploited
Reciprocity with indigenous communities
With the right set and setting for care, psilocybin mushroom therapies can reduce anxiety and depression. Psilocybin can also improve existential suffering and demoralization for people facing serious or terminal illnesses. Many report feeling more at peace with their condition and experiencing a greater sense of well-being.
Psilocybin therapy can induce spiritual and existential insights, and lead to a greater sense of meaning in relationship to the death and dying process. But this therapy is not for everyone, and there is still much to learn from scientific research and wise lineage holders.
MDMA when paired with therapy has demonstrated potential to reduce the symptoms of PTSD for people who have tried other therapies, without good results. The FDA is currently reviewing MDMA therapy and may approve its use for the treatment of PTSD.
