Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy (MBE)

Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy (MBE) is a form of therapy that combines core mindfulness principles (be present, on purpose, without judgmental) with being connected to nature.  MBE is based on the knowledge that being in nature and engaging with it mindfully can have a profound positive impact on emotional well-being. Research shows that spending time in nature can reduce stress and rumination, improve mood, increase feelings of social connectedness, and a greater sense of connection with the natural world.  Additionally, the incorporation of nature-based activities into the therapeutic process can provide a sense of accomplishment and increased self-esteem.

In MBE, therapists work with individuals to help them develop mindfulness skills and to incorporate nature-based activities into their therapeutic process. This might involve activities such as mindful walking/hiking, gardening, or simply spending time in a natural setting and practicing mindfulness techniques.
