Healing Spaces Resources
by Melissa Clews-Hunt
Path of Change
Fall is the time of the year that reminds us change can be ablaze with beauty. As humans, change can be difficult and scary, but also can bring us more into alignment.
Outdoor Ecotherapy Supervision Group
Space to come together in the beautiful outdoors, build community, earn supervision hours, engage in anti oppressive work
How to go on a healing walk, and participate in decolonization as you do
For many of us, nature can be a source of peace, stillness, and a moment to release the tensions of the day. How we show up in these spaces
National Ecotherapy Presentation
It is with great privilege that I will be presenting on Ecotherapy at the National conference for the Canadian Association for Marriage and Family Therapy in beautiful Kelowna, BC.
Ecotherapy Sessions with Melissa
Walk together comforted by nature’s peace. Allow the stillness of the forests, the calls of birds, and the river’s gentle presence invite you to attune to your own heart.
Workshop: Addressing the Earth Crisis in Clinical Supervision
A workshop for supervisors and therapists to turn attention to our relationship with the earth, and be part of a response to the urgency of our time.
Walking Meditation on the Earth
Inose [Ee-no-say] means to walk in a certain way, to a certain place. Read more to enjoy this 25-minute sound walk.
Reciprocity with the Earth
In the spring when the ferns were coming up, with permission and respect I harvested fiddle heads promising that I would return in the summer to water the ferns.
Responsibilities for Reconciliation
Precious babies; stolen, abused, killed and buried. Parents, families, survivors who are still living, many who are not, unsettled spirits.
From Seeing Problems to Beauty
Sometimes I catch myself going about my day or week with a problem solving approach to life. I find myself going from task to task fixing things.
Pandemic Griefs and Gifts
As we carry on through the phases of the global pandemic, there continues to be uncertainties as well as possibilities. I have heard from many people I work with experiences of fear and loss.
What might COVID-19 teach us about climate change?
Before COVID-19, our focus was on the immensity of climate change. We asked how do we change the structures we live by to benefit the earth?
Climate change is so big, what can I do?
We are at a critical time in history, the choices we make today have implications beyond our awareness for the future of our planet.
Connecting with the Elements
What does it mean to connect with the elements? At first this sounds like an unusual idea, but instead it can be deeply meaningful and accessible.
Changing Patterns
There are times in our lives when we come to realize that the ways we have been living are no longer good for us. Ways that once may have helped us cope with challenges now stifle our life energy.
Reciprocal Relationships with Earth
What is your vision for the future of our lives here on Earth? This is a question I have been asking others and myself for the past several years. Recently I came across a response that felt like an 'aha' moment for me.
Centering to our Roots
Everywhere you look vibrant leaves are reflecting their gifts to this world before they are released and return to the soil. We feel such gratitude and awe for the colours, the sweet smell of fallen leaves and their crunch beneath our feet.
