Andy Fisher: Ecopsychology: Theory and Practice

08/22/2024

I've got a new website (and domain name), as the old one vanished last spring. Here it is (ta da):

This site is about Andy Fisher, a leading theorist and author in the field of ecopsychology. It provides information about his Radical Ecopsychology, including books and other writings, as well as mentoring and consulting services. It also describes his book-in-progress, Ecopsychology as Politics.

There are a few spots remaining for this 10-session on-line course on Buddhist psychology, starting April 1. A chance to study the ways of the human heart in these difficult times. Please be in touch if you are interested. And please share.

There are still spots available for this training. Here is what one former participant said about it: "Andy Fisher’s Year-long Training in Ecopsychology was just what I was looking for to explore personal and professional questions about the ideas and practices within the field. Well designed, creatively crafted and beautifully paced, it was a wonderful blend of academic engagement and practical application indoors and out. I have fond memories of morning sit spots, outdoor education councils and fire circles that fully embodied the ideas of ecopsychology as a lived experience. The training gave me the confidence that I could run with these ideas and practices in new and innovative ways in my life. It answered many of my questions and opened up exciting news one to be curious about. Andy is a gifted, caring teacher and mentor. I highly recommend this training, a year of exploration well worth the time." Ken MacLeod, MTS, RMFT, Counsellor at the Student Wellness Centre, University of Saskatchewan

There is still room in this training. Here is what some former participants say about it:

“As a budding ecopsychologist, having the opportunity to learn with Andy Fisher was a dream come true. The program was grounded, pushed boundaries, and shifted my perceptions. It deeply embedded the theories of ecopsychology into my body, mind, and spirit.” (Robin Westland, PhD Candidate Geography and Planning
Queen's University)

I am leading a Radical Ecopsychology intensive retreat on Vancouver Island (WSÁNEĆ territory) this summer. It is about going to the edges of ecopsychology and "upping our game" as ecopsychologists. Click on the poster for more details.

This training is for those who want to get right into what ecopsychology is all about. It's not always comfortable, but you get to try on a way of being true to our earthen nature. Registration is now open for the 2018-2019 instalment. http://andyfisher.ca/year-long-training

Buddhist psychology provides ancient yet remarkably current teachings that help us cut through confusion and create practices that deepen our lives. It is also the basis for the mindfulness revolution sweeping through our society. For those in the Perth area, this course covers the main topics of Buddhist Psychology, offering an excellent introduction to both the theory and the practice. (New poster with date typo fixed.)

I taught this course for the first time in the spring of 2017. It filled up by word of mouth, so I am offering it again for those who did not catch it the first time round. The spring course was a rich experience for all involved; the topic seems to really strike a chord.
