Caring for Yourself, Caring for the Planet: Self Care for Eco Practitioners

As ecotherapists and nature-connected practitioners, we walk between worlds — holding space for the healing of others, while also tending to the collective pain of a planet in crisis. But how do we sustain this work without disconnecting from ourselves?

This two-part workshop takes place on 4th and 11th December (both sessions from 1-3pm UK time). It is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the core of your own balance as a necessity for sustainable, heart-led service. We'll explore how to meet our specific needs while centering the Earth in our decisions. How to hold strength and vulnerability. How to stay connected to ourselves without being swept away by urgency, overwhelm, or the subtle drive to do more and be more. You’ll be guided through the Care for Life Method, a model I’ve developed through years of therapeutic work and ecotherapy facilitation. Using the framework of the 5 Elements of Nature, we’ll explore how your own element can help you recalibrate your relationship to yourself and the Earth through a step by step process you can explore with yourself and with your clients.

There will be some work to do between the first and second session. This mini-course will count as five hours training for Ten Directions students.

Please note that at Tariki Trust, we generally do not record our online events. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds to people who do not show up assuming that they will get a recording.

Please note that although this event is part of the Ten Directions training course for ecotherapy practitioners, anybody can book and take part in this public online event. If you are interested, please do buy a ticket – all are welcome!

About Patricia Giménez-Salinas

My name is Patricia Giménez-Salinas and I am from Barcelona (Spain). I am a psychotherapist and ecotherapist with extensive training in approaches such as Gestalt, Body Psychotherapy, Pre- and Perinatal Psychology, Transpersonal Psychotherapy and Ecotherapy. My work integrates tools from meditation, somatic practices, art therapy and ritual to support deep, holistic transformation through work with the mind, body, emotions, energy and spirit. I believe healing is not only personal, but also relational and ecological — a journey of true reconnection with ourselves, our relationships and the Earth.
