Where the psyche does not stop at the skin but holds a porosity and reciprocity with the living world.
Where what comprises the me has roots and branches into the we.
Where place matters and well being has mycological threads.
Nikyta has been a practicing Ecopsychologist for over twenty years and is a co-founder of the practice, Ecoutearth.

Nikyta teaches and leads globally, and has a private practice in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
More on Ecoutearth:
“Ecoutearth is a combination of mindfulness, ecopsychology, and expressive arts. Mindfulness is a practice of bringing our awareness into the present moment. When we add ecopsychology to mindfulness it becomes a practice of noticing our own experience as well as the experience of the environment around us. When we add expressive arts it brings in a new way of relating by studying and becoming present through experiential action. Ecoutearth is about spending time in nature and taking time to listen with all of your senses to what is around you. Listen with your heart, your ears, your eyes, your toes and feet, your nose. Listen with your whole being. In this way we invite you to join in slowing down and listening to the earth, to ourselves in the earth, on the earth and with the earth.” -Ecoutearth Founder, Karina Colliat
Nikyta incorporates Ecopsychology into her work on climate, her yoga and mindfulness practice, and works in private practice and retreat settings with groups and individuals. She is passionate about place based connection and embodied relationship to the animate world.
