Episode 25: Indoor Ecotherapy
In episode 25 of the ecotherapy podcast, I respond to a great question from Colin in Calgary, Canada. Colin emailed to ask what kind of indoor ecotherapy activities are suitable during the winter—when the far north is simply too cold to be venturing outdoors.
For many of us, staying indoors for long periods of time is not a question of choice. Whether it is because of extreme weather conditions, disability or life circumstances, it’s sometimes just not possible to go outside to experience nature. This is when we do two things: we bring nature inside with us, and we engage with our imaginations in numerous creative ways.
