The part of the mind that is dark to us in this culture, that is sleeping in us, that we name 'unconscious', is the knowledge that we are inseparable from all other beings in the universe. ~Susan Griffin

Beyond Therapy is a mentoring/eco-therapy process designed to increase personal and environmental well being.  Eco-therapy approaches the natural world as guide and teacher and believes that it can mirror our innate ability to move toward health and wholeness.  This work is grounded in the understanding that human health and the health of the Earth are inseparable.  Our well being depends upon the understanding of our personal interdependence and interconnection with all of life. 

There is growing awareness that many problems we face in our world today stem from a culture that promotes individual consumption and disconnects us from the larger community of life.  Beyond Therapy addresses this disconnection and the distressing effects on our lives by going beyond conventional therapy practices.  Combining ideas from cognitive and systems therapy, deep ecology, meditation, art, eco-spirituality, and dream work, individuals are supported to interrupt habitual patterns that feed difficulties with new ways of being that promote possibility.  In addition, we work to investigate and understand family patterns and the stories and values of our culture that keep us from knowing what we truly want and who we truly are.  Mentoring supports reconnection to one's ability to feel and to fully express oneself and reconnection with the larger community of life.
