In this solo episode, Marina explores what Linda Buzzell calls “level two ecotherapy” - a shift from using nature as a tool for human wellbeing to recognising our reciprocal relationship with the living world.

Moving from “me” to “we,” she reflects on how our practices, systems, and mindsets can evolve toward a more ethical, embodied, and relational way of belonging.

• The move from extraction to relationship — recognising nature as a living partner, not a service.
• From “me” to “we” — human development as a journey toward community and interconnection.
• The many meanings of ecotherapy and why values and worldview matter more than labels.
• The power of shared outdoor activity — fire, craft, and stillness as natural therapy.
• Reclaiming the roots of eco and therapy — caring for our shared home and one another.
• Nature-centric models that place humans within the circle of life, not above it.
• The need to move beyond individual healing to include the health of the Earth.
• Western culture’s mindset of extraction and the call for reciprocity and re-education.
• Bringing nature-based practice into health and education systems despite structural barriers.
• Seeing bullying and domination as symptoms of fear and disconnection from relationship.
• The importance of moral courage, ethical conduct, and grounded self-worth in our work.
• Community ecotherapy and deep ecology as ways to restore belonging and collective care.
