I live in rural eastern Ontario with my wife Jill Dunkley. Having spent the last few years building a passive solar home in a woodland setting, we are now busy expanding a vegetable garden and dreaming of honey bees and an edible forest garden. The home is a wonderful base for our work in ecopsychology and yoga therapy.
The path that brought me here has not been a straight one. I started out my adult life as an environmental engineer, but quickly discovered that my passion lay elsewhere. I returned to school, doing graduate research in Environmental Studies and training as a psychotherapist. At the end of that process I had produced a doctoral dissertation that became my book Radical Ecopsychology. Since then I have been working as a therapist and slowly unfolding my work in ecopsychology. I have fashioned myself as a worker-intellectual of sorts, pursuing my calling as a thinker while engaged in the thick of life.
