Description

Queer By Nature: Resilience & Regrowth Through Ecotherapy

This queer-led ecotherapy workshop invites you into a supportive and grounding space to explore resilience and regrowth through connection with nature, creativity, and community.

Drawing on ecotherapy, expressive arts, and eco-mythic themes, the session includes gentle meditation, solo time in nature, creative exploration, shared reflection, and simple ritual. Together, we will explore how resilience shows up in the natural world through adaptation, interdependence, and regeneration, and how these same qualities live within queer bodies and histories.

The workshop acknowledges that many queer people carry layers of stress shaped by social, cultural, and historical forces, while keeping the focus on strengths, beauty, and the possibility of renewal. Rather than staying with what has been endured, we will move toward reconnection, belonging, and a felt sense of having a right to exist and co-exist within the living world.

This is an invitation to slow down, be held by nature, and leave with a renewed sense of connection to self, community, and the more-than-human world.

No prior experience with art or ecotherapy is needed. All LGBTQIA+ identities, bodies, and expressions are welcome.

Cody Fisher Therapies offers inclusive, creative, and nature-based counselling, art therapy, and group programs designed to support connection—within ourselves, with each other, and with the more-than-human world. Cody is a queer, neurodivergent Art Therapist, Ecotherapist and Clinical Counsellor who works with children, teens, and adults navigating trauma, identity, grief, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, and life transitions.

His approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and grounded in creativity, mindfulness, somatic practices, and ecotherapy. Whether in one-on-one sessions or group settings, Cody offers a flexible, neuro-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive space where your full self is welcome.

In addition to individual counselling, Cody facilitates seasonal workshops and therapeutic arts-based groups that nurture self-expression, emotional regulation, community connection, and a deeper relationship with the natural world. These offerings are designed to encourage curiosity, creativity, and compassion and are ideal for those seeking a slower, more meaningful way to reflect and grow.

Based on unceded Wurundjeri Country in Melbourne’s outer north, Cody works with NDIS participants (self and plan-managed) and the wider community. Look out for upcoming group offerings—indoors and in nature—that invite gentle exploration, creativity, and care.
