Abstract
This paper proposes a transpersonal ecology framework aimed at reestablishing the connection between humans and nature, addressing ecological crises through an expansion of consciousness. Pairing the consciousness theories of Stanislav Grof with the ecological disconnection critique of Steve Taylor, this hypothetical simulated paper presents and discusses the proposed concepts of how meditation inspired by nature can increase extrasensory phenomena and reduce eco-anxiety. Synthesizing qualitative insights with quantitative projections, this research provides practical applications, such as guided nature-based therapy, which correspond with the theme of Sacred Unity. Conceptually bound within natural landscapes, this research brings together the two disciplines of transpersonal psychology and ecological restoration in order to foster dialogue for collective reconnection.
