Published March  23, 2012 in Gatherings, the journal of the International 
Community for  Ecopsychology: 
The  Permaculture-Ecotherapy Dialogues

Can the  permaculture principles and practices of ecological design offer 
guidance not  only for external processes like remediating damaged land and 
building  ecovillages but also for the healing of both individual and 
collective  psychological and social terrain?  And what might nature-based 
permaculture  thinking contribute to the healing of the sorely wounded human-nature  
relationship?   

Santa Barbara psychotherapist/ecotherapist Linda Buzzell and John F.  
Kennedy University ecopsychology professor Dr. Craig Chalquist, co-editors of  
Sierra Club Books’ Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind — both  graduates 
of the Permaculture Design Course — explore the possibilities through  this 
very preliminary dialogue that will hopefully open a much wider  
conversation about whether — or even if — the ecologically-based principles of  
permaculture can address the remediation of devastated psychological and social  
ecosystems as well as abused and neglected places.
