Nature-Based Healing

Fostering mental health and community wellbeing in the heart of Appalachia

Ecotherapy is at the frontier of psychology, centering the relationship between people and the natural world as a healing agent. Our developing programs will be tailored to local needs and natural assets, drawing from a variety of nature-based approaches including: animal-assisted therapy, horticultural therapy, wilderness therapy, forest bathing, and care farming. We are committed to forming partnerships with local healthcare providers, as well as employers who wish to secure and support their labor force, reducing barriers to access and availability and delivering services that are a cultural fit for the region. We aim to bring care to the people who most need it and to promote resilience and dignity amongst the most vulnerable throughout Appalachia. 

Reciprocal healing models will be involved at each level of our land and restoration work, prioritizing the health of our people in all that we do. Ecotherapy retreats and workshops will soon be offered in this immersive and beautiful landscape where the land is healing alongside you. 

Experience renewal from the ground up.
