NATURE CONNECTED ORGANIZATIONS AND PRACTITIONERS

Attraction Retreat, www.attractionretreat.org , Bellingham, WA, has a simple philosophy: We come from the Earth and are totally dependent upon it for our sustenance, so we require a healthy planet in order to be healthy ourselves--and vice versa.  By getting people back in touch with their roots in the natural world, our three synergistically woven branches are catalyzing personal healing and empowerment, the re-birth of mutually supportive, independent local communities, and greater networking with others for cultural transformation and environmental sustainability.

Full Circle Center,  http://www.fullcircletaos.com  in Taos, NM offers classes and workshops focused on reclaiming our world one spirit at a time.  By reconnecting with our natural senses through nature, sharing a community support system model, we regain the ability to live independently in interdependent holistic harmony.

Theresa Sweeney kelekai@stis.net West Palm Beach, FL.  I am a nature and art therapist.  I've developed fun, creative activities, which I use with clients to help them reconnect with the nature inside them and unearth their true identity.  Art is a wordless language of the soul just as nature is and the combination of the two leads people to deep insights and understandings, which change their lives in profound ways.  Although I work with a variety of issues, my specialty is eating disorders.
