practice in individual and group settings. In addition the application as a prescription in
the context of therapeutic interventions is demonstrated and the importance of increasing the
inclusion of forest life in the case history is clarified. The attitude of complex mindfulness
and lived integrative ecopsychosomatics open up possibilities of a care for the world in a time
of alienation from nature with a simultaneous longing for nature the commitment to the
preservation of nature strengthens an experience of solidarity and is at the same time
effective self-care.
