Ecotherapy
Nature as medicine.
Ecotherapy, also called nature therapy or green therapy, uses time in nature to improve mental health and wellbeing. Research shows that time outdoors reduces cortisol levels, lowers anxiety, and improves mood and focus.
At Move.Heal.Thrive we combine those principles with community, movement and mindfulness. Our outdoor gatherings create space for healing that feels accessible, joyful and culturally grounded, not clinical.
Whether you join a community hike through LA's parks, a sound bath under open sky, or a yoga session surrounded by nature, you're practicing ecotherapy. And you belong here.
