We’re excited to announce the Second Annual Ecopsychology Convergence at Gateway Farm! Join Dr Charlie Brennan, Bridget O'Brien, collaborators & guest speakers. Our ecopsychological feelings, identities, relationships with forests, rivers, seas, gardens, farms, towns, all beings and even highways – everything – are completely fundamental. And yet, in this human-centered world this is often overlooked or denied, and living systems around us increasingly compromised.

Look forward to speakers & panelists, workshops, world cafe style conversations, emergent discussions and tree planting. Ecopsychology is bound with sense of place, place literature, ecology, Indigenous and Cultural studies, from literature and beautiful ideas to how we practically live our everyday lives.

Bridget & Charlie of Garden Juju Collective, will be joined by - Reset, Brain, Body, S. Lily Mendoza - Professor, Culture & Communication & James W. Perkinson - Professor of Social Ethics in facilitating this workshop, and other presenters.

Join us for this most fundamental and exciting event. Expect to be challenged, reassured, stimulated, re-enchanted and more.

Please arrive by 8:30am for refreshments and registration.

There will be a catered organic luncheon.
