The Healing in Nature for Everyone

ECO-HEALING: families, children, teens, young adults, vets, and professionals
Modern research and ancient practices reveal, exposure to nature can contribute to human healing on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Conversely, human beings touched by the healing power of nature want to protect and heal nature.
Promoting stress reductions and recreational enjoyment through curiosity and exploration of natural resources to will also include emotional and physical healing focus while camping or living in pristine rural environments.
Weekends, holidays, and summer workshops will provide human-value education, wellness programs and heart-centered daily living.
Eco-healing implies a direct relationship with nature and occurs in a wide range of ways. Workshop guides will partner with one or a few participants to take a walk into nature, keep a garden, enjoy outdoor sport activities, volunteer at a farm, or journey into the wilderness. Each of these activities has the capacity to restore and to heal, and to provide wisdom. most effective eco-healing implies a direct relationship with nature.
The Biophilia Hypothesis, by E.O. Wilson, explains human connections with nature: because human beings evolved in nature, they are intimately connected to nature. Physically, we are, like all life forms, chemically related to the Earth, and the Earth is hard-wired into our chemistry.
This natural human connection with nature allows nature to help each person feel safe and secure in a very challenging world. HAF programs assist with this connection to facilitate a greater sense of fulfillment for every participant.

ECO-THERAPY: The Art of Stewardship to Earth
Education/trainings for humans of all ages to bond with Nature on Earth through “stewardship”. This stewardship cultivates the harmony and balance that Nature already has which has been abandoned to date for convenience.
The harmony and balance that is sustained promotes a natural “peace culture” with Nature and “builds peace bonds in all human-Earth relationships”.
The embodiment of the natural world into our internal landscape is a fundamental need of our culture. Nature speaks to us through our senses, many of which we are unaware. Nature is an intelligent and communicative force that offers us wisdom, healing and restoration.
How do we do this: When we approach nature as a teacher and healer that it is, we will be led to what will help us and Earth simultaneously.
