About Eric

I'm a former mental health professional turned guide. I help people connect with wild nature, both in the world around us and within. I love talking about the difference between traditional mental health and ecopsychology, what that can do for us personally and as a species, and how our relationship with wild nature is the most pressing issue of our time.

I believe that we are 100% capable of turning things around, we just need to change our mindset. We have to recognize ourselves as part of the ecosystems we inhabit, and that we have powers like no other creature before us. Chill out and spend time in nature with some intention to reflect on ourselves (where better to do it), and try to bring that into our everyday lives.

When it comes down to it, we have to honor the loving, caring, peace and wisdom seeking aspects of our deeper humanity. That was instilled in us to balance out our incredible powers. Developing into wise, responsible, caring and passionate beings, recognizing that (as well as immature, self centered people) should be a gateway to people being put in power. But we can't even start until we honor that as part of our human condition.

Obviously I can talk about a variety of topics, though there's a lot that doesn't fit, especially popular culture based themes. It also sounds simple and optimistic, but there's a whole journey we go on when we open to it. Read more at my blog to see if I'm a good fit. : evolvewild.com/blog-n/
