An interesting conversation on reconnecting to our roots by Peak moment Tv and Linda Buzzell-Saltzman - Psychotherapist/ Eco-therapist and Larry Saltzman - permaculture practitioner.
Linda uses Eco-psychology, a study about broken human-nature relationships in her therapy with great satisfaction. She talks about people being so disconnected from nature, relationships and family these days. We used to live so differently, spending so much more time out in nature, where we bonded with others and lived in a community.
In this therapy she looks at your relationship to nature and encourages you to keep a “time-diary” for instance, to track how much time you spend doing different things such as being with your family, being in nature, being outside, being with animals vs. being inside around technology and work stress, void of the things that relax and are healing to you.
She brings up a few other shocking and interesting facts:
We may wonder why divorce rates are so high today, but knowing that most couples only spend 15min in each others company a day and that is not even necessairly spent as high quality time… makes it much less surprising no?
Larry Saltzman also gives deep insight to the practice of permaculture and the very healing qualities of growing your own food and spending time in the garden and creating a sustainable way of living together with a supportive community.
How inspiring to see people bravely living out their ideals and setting a great example to the rest of us!
