New Zealand Transition Initiatives Social Network

From oil dependence to local resilience

HI,

My name is Gabriel and I am a therapist in the addictions and mental health field in NZ. I believe that we can do better for those in need while also benefiting our own development and the environment.

I am looking to establish an ecological and ethical community to support those with mental health and addiction issues.

A model exists in Europe that is getting positive results. The treatment is based on organic/biodynamic farms that provides meaningful work and healthy lifestyle for all residents. Also included in these therapeutic approaches are researched anthroposophical (herbal etc.)  medicines, arts and arts therapies and an ethical and ecological community approach to healing.

  

This was the subject of my recent Masters research and am happy to provide information on this. Contact me on gabsuggate@gmail.com  and/or read the attachment.
