Book Description
Environmental Arts Therapy: The Wild Frontiers of the Heart describes what happens when we take the creative arts therapies and the people whom we work with out of doors in order to provide safe, structured and accompanied creative therapeutic healing experiences. The theoretical themes are developed along with illustrated examples of clinical practice across a variety of settings and locations. The work is introduced and co-edited by a pioneer in the field, Ian Siddons Heginworth, who describes the emergence of environmental arts therapy and its growth across the British Isles supported through the training course based in London. The following 12 chapters are written by contributing authors and creative arts therapy practitioners working with children, adults and elders in schools, adult mental health and private practice in Britain and Europe. A central focus of the book is the clinical populations and settings in which clinicians work, and it also describes the health benefits as well as the challenges faced when working out of doors. This is a book about the emergence of a new creative therapy modality in the British Isles. It shows the value of working with the natural cycles and seasons, using an integrative arts approach including dramatic enactment, role-play, poetry, art-making with natural materials, storytelling, and the use of bodywork through movement, sound, rhythm and the voice, all held and reflected by our encounters with and in nature. It is about our relationship with nature, creativity and therapeutic healing and is written for trainers, trainees and practitioners in the creative arts, psychotherapy and ecotherapy.

Book Description
Social Action Art Therapy in a Time of Crisis outlines theories and models of social action art therapy, identifies its application in times of crisis, and explores the ways in which art therapy can work effectively for individuals and groups experiencing crisis. Drawing upon various ecologies, climate psychology, and eco-art therapy, this book addresses various responses to climate change, including notions of belonging, the physicality of experience, and the role of imagination in creating alternative versions of the future. The author presents a social action approach to art therapy as a way of addressing the political and collective components of climate change as well as the individual and emotional components. To help explore what social action art therapy can offer in this time of crisis, the author illustrates examples that show how the ideas have been used in other moments of crisis, including asylum, refuge, and domestic abuse. This innovative book contributes to the development of contemporary art therapy practice and will be of interest to arts therapists, arts psychotherapists, expressive therapists, ecotherapists, ecopsychologists, arts-based researchers, and many more.

Book Description
"Do you remember who you were before the world told you who you were?" Rarely do you come across a book that changes you forever. This is one of those very special, consciousness-raising texts. Far more than a self-help book, Eco-Art Therapy - Creative Activities that let Earth Teach is a self-help lifestyle. Chock full of stimulating quotes, inspiring pictures and restorative exercises, this manual provides unparalleled transformation. The search to find ourselves can be a frustrating one. Many of us run in circles trying to find meaning in a world that often times seems all wrong. We try in vain to manage the symptoms of our troubles, but fail to understand the real problem. As this revolutionary book explains, the root of much of our discontent is the unreasonable difference between the way we learn to think and how Nature works. Though people are part of Nature and we inherit a love and respect for its purity, beauty, and perfection, we grow up in a society detached from its eons of sensory intelligence; we seldom include the genius of the natural world in our daily lives and thinking. To our great loss most of us are out of touch and out of synch with the regenerative and balancing ways of the Earth. This makes us strangers to ourselves. Tragically, we've lost sight of who we really are. If you've ever spent time in a natural area or with a pet you know the power of Nature to heal. Dr. Sweeney blends art therapy with ecotherapy in a unique learning tool which gives you the means to anchor that feel-good aliveness so it doesn't fade when you return indoors. The engaging and practical Eco-Art activities she presents in this manual use art as a bridge between your innate, but suppressed natural intelligence and your conscious awareness. These simple, but powerful, paradigm-shifting exercises help you surface your inherited wisdom into your psyche so you can think with it 24/7, making your time spent in Nature, not only momentarily cathartic, but lasting. Your time has come to reclaim the joys of your birthright. Reconnect with the wild and join the great awakening! Note: This workbook is also the text for accredited online Eco-Art therapy classes and professional certification. All readers, therapists, educators and coaches are highly encouraged to expand their personal and professional skills with this truly life-changing tool.

Book Description
Winner of the International Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction Animal tracks, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us. This major work of ecological philosophy startles the senses out of habitual ways of perception. For a thousand generations, human beings viewed themselves as part of the wider community of nature, and they carried on active relationships not only with other people with other animals, plants, and natural objects (including mountains, rivers, winds, and weather patters) that we have only lately come to think of as "inanimate." How, then, did humans come to sever their ancient reciprocity with the natural world? What will it take for us to recover a sustaining relation with the breathing earth? In The Spell of the Sensuous David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand of magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which--even at its most abstract--echoes the calls and cries of the earth. On every page of this lyrical work, Abram weaves his arguments with a passion, a precision, and an intellectual daring that recall such writers as Loren Eisleley, Annie Dillard, and Barry Lopez.
