CALL FOR PAPERS FOR SPECIAL ISSUE OF ECOPSYCHOLOGY
RECIPROCAL HEALING: NATURE, HEALTH, AND WILD VITALITY
Ecopsychology would like to invite you to join the Reciprocal Healing: Nature, Health, and Wild Vitality conference being held in Sedona, Arizona (Nov. 5-8, 2019) and to submit your research to a dedicated special issue on this topic.
The Conference
First, we invite you to join Drs. Tom Fleischner, Laura Sewall, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Gary Paul Nabhan, Robert Greenway, Peter Kahn, Davona Blackhorse and others November 5-8, 2019 for what will be a wonderful intimate conference in Sedona, Arizona on Reciprocal Healing: Nature, Health, and Wild Vitality.
The goal of the conference is to illuminate the healing ground that lies at the confluence of natural history, medicine, and psychology. From this common ground we intend to grow the practices and associations that will foster the health of all life. At this conference, there will be lots of opportunity for interaction among participants – psychologists, naturalists, ecologists, physicians, educators, artists, writers, and advocates – to help light a path for healing the human and more-than-human world. This national confluence is dedicated to nurturing a sense of hope grounded in tangible, actionable outcomes. Participants will benefit from inspiration, innovation, cross-pollination, and depth in both plenary and breakout sessions. Please visit the conference’s website for more information.
