Transpersonal Ecology: Reweaving Consciousness and Nature for Ecological Harmony
International Theory and Practice in Humanities and Social Sciences June 8, 2025 Yiu Kwong Au-Yeung
A transpersonal ecology framework is proposed to reconnect humans with nature by expanding consciousness, addressing ecological crises. Pairing Stanislav Grof's consciousness theories with Steve Taylor's critique of ecological disconnection, the paper suggests that nature-inspired meditation can increase extrasensory phenomena and reduce eco-anxiety. Qualitative insights are synthesized with quantitative projections, and practical applications such as guided nature-based therapy are presented, aligned with the theme of Sacred Unity. The work brings together transpersonal psychology and ecological restoration to foster dialogue for collective reconnection.
