Welcome to the New Mindful Ecotherapy Center Newsletter!

As a part of our continual quality improvement for the services we offer, we’re migrating our newsletter to Substack.
The Mindful Ecotherapy Center is transitioning its newsletter from Mailchimp to Substack as part of a broader commitment to community connection, accessibility, and content-focused growth. This change is designed to enhance how we share resources, insights, and updates with our growing network of ecotherapists, clinicians, and mindful living advocates.

Substack provides a more streamlined, reader-friendly experience, allowing subscribers to receive our newsletters directly in their inboxes in a clean, blog-style format that’s easy to read and share. Unlike Mailchimp, Substack places the focus squarely on content and conversation, offering a platform where readers can engage through comments, community threads, and optional subscription tiers.

Additionally, Substack allows for greater transparency and autonomy, enabling us to publish free and premium content in one place without the complexity of managing multiple platforms. This move also reduces overhead, making it easier to devote more time to creating high-quality material, from therapeutic exercises and continuing education opportunities to updates on certifications and events.

In short, moving to Substack helps the Mindful Ecotherapy Center stay aligned with our core values of mindfulness, simplicity, and meaningful connection, while continuing to grow our professional network and support mental health professionals across the globe.

Why this, why now?

We’re excited to announce a new chapter in how we share our work, insights, and community with you. After years of connecting through platforms like Mailchimp, we’re moving to Substack to create a more intentional space for dialogue, education, and inspiration rooted in the principles of mindful living and ecotherapy.

Why this?
Because we believe in slowing down, breathing deep, and building meaningful relationships—not only with the earth and with each other, but with the ideas and practices that nourish personal and professional growth. Substack offers us a platform that’s aligned with our values: uncluttered, reflective, community-centered. It allows us to communicate directly with you through thoughtful articles, course updates, mindfulness tools, and field reflections—all in one accessible place. No ads. No distractions. Just connection.

Why now?
Because this moment calls for it. We’re living in a time of rapid ecological and emotional upheaval. The climate crisis, social disconnection, and mental health challenges are converging. At the same time, there is a growing movement of people, like you, who are seeking grounded, nature-based, and mindful approaches to healing. We want to meet this moment with purpose.

Launching here, on Substack, allows us to create a living journal of the work we’ve been doing and the path ahead: certifying mindful ecotherapists, developing new continuing education offerings, and sharing practical tools to bring nature and mindfulness into the therapy room, classroom, and everyday life.

This is more than just a newsletter. It’s a community space for those who care deeply about inner peace, outer sustainability, and the sacred intersection between the two.

We’re glad you’re here.

What kind of community are we looking to build?

At the Mindful Ecotherapy Center, we’re not just building a mailing list, we’re cultivating a living, breathing community of connection. This space is for therapists, healers, nature-lovers, mindfulness practitioners, students, and seekers who believe that the path to healing leads through both inner awareness and deep ecological connection.

We’re looking to build a community that is:

🌿 Grounded in Mindfulness – People who are committed to showing up with presence, compassion, and curiosity. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or have a long-standing practice, you’re welcome here.

🌍 Eco-Aware and Earth-Connected – Individuals who understand that healing ourselves and healing the planet are not separate journeys. We want to gather those who honor the natural world not just as scenery, but as a co-therapist, a teacher, and a sacred mirror.

🛠️ Practice-Oriented – Clinicians and practitioners who want more than theory. Here, you’ll find tools, interventions, and hands-on strategies you can apply in real-time with your clients, your students, and yourself.

💬 Reflective and Engaged – Readers who want to not only receive content but also reflect, respond, and help co-create this space. Share your insights, your questions, your challenges. This is a space for conversation, not just consumption.

🤝 Supportive, Not Competitive – This is not about credentials or hierarchy. Whether you’re a licensed therapist, a student of psychology, a wilderness guide, or simply someone trying to live more mindfully in a chaotic world, your voice matters here.

This is a digital hearth for kindred spirits who believe in the healing power of presence and place. We hope you’ll not only read what we share but help shape the evolving dialogue of mindful ecotherapy.

Journey With Us as We Grow Together at the Mindful Ecotherapy Center

At the Mindful Ecotherapy Center, we believe healing is not a destination. It’s a journey we take in relationship with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. This space on Substack is an invitation to walk that path together.

Whether you’re a therapist integrating mindfulness and nature into your practice, a student exploring the field of ecotherapy, or someone seeking a deeper, more grounded way of living, there’s a place for you here.

“Journey with us” means joining a movement that values reflection over reaction, connection over competition, and wholeness over hustle. As we grow, offering new courses, certifications, writings, and tools, we hope you’ll grow with us: learning, sharing, and supporting one another along the way.

We’re not here to preach or prescribe. We’re here to cultivate a community of practice rooted in compassion, nourished by nature, and inspired by mindfulness.

Welcome to the journey. Let’s grow together.
