Holy moly is this a big topic to tackle... but I hope to break it down simply enough for anyone to be able to apply it to their own life.
Welcome to Ethos of Nature
I would first like to say THANK YOU for taking the time to check out my website. This project has been something I've been wanting to do for a number of years, and I finally bit the bullet and went all in.
You may be asking yourself, "What the heck is Ethos of Nature all about?" Well, EON is an online forum dedicated to providing you with inspiration, motivation, and just a tad bit of research about staying connected (or reconnecting) with nature - along with some general mental health, wellness, and fun forensic information in between. We hope to be a mental health platform that (mostly) encourages people to get out of their heads... and into the wild! Are you with us?
While we are solely an online forum at the moment, we hope to build an inclusive community of diverse individuals who connect with nature and/or are interested in building a better version of themselves.
It is important to note that any and all information provided on this site is for informational purposes ONLY, and is to be used as supplemental to - not a substitute for - professional help. If you or someone you know ever experiences a mental health emergency and need immediate help, please contact your local physician or dial 911.
Thanks for joining our adventure!

Balance

Balance. What comes to mind when you hear the word "balance?" 2020 through a whole lot of wrenches into many of our lives. If you were anything like me, that also meant a wrench was thrown into my work-life balance. Meaning, my workload exponentially increased (essential worker), while my lifeload remained the same, all while other dimensions of my...
Traumatic Responses
01/13/2021
Trauma can be defined in many ways, and can be experienced differently by each individual. Sometimes it can be easier to process trauma when we have a general understanding of what it is we may be going through. For example, did you know that trauma can cause both immediate and delayed responses? In fact, most responses to trauma are...
Nature Walks

We've all heard about the benefits of exercise for our physical health, but there are important benefits of exercise for our mental health as well! Physical exercise and moving our bodies helps to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety! This can be walking, running, dancing, yoga, or any other form of physical activity.
Lemon Balm

Lemon Balm may look familiar... but it is probably because it is part of the mint family! This perennial herb has a lemon aroma, and is thought to have some powerful medicinal benefits.
Cognitive Errors

Have you ever heard of cognitive errors? What about thought distortions? Stinkin' thinkin'? These terms refer to a psychological process that each of us use, which impacts the way we perceive and interpret the events in our lives! Sometimes we engage in these thought processes as a defense mechanism, while others may use them maliciously.
