‘Nature Therapy Online’ is an eco-therapy podcast all about connecting to nature for our wellbeing. Ecotherapy is also necessary for the planet because people who love nature often take care of it.
Join professional ecotherapy practitioner Stephen McCabe to explore the power of mindfulness in nature.
In this relaxing and thoughtful podcast, Stephen provides reflections and suggestions for deepening your connection to this beautiful planet. Sometimes he takes you on audio walks in the forest or by the water. At other times he shares nature-based meditations or delves into the fascinating world of nature’s myths and stories.
If you are looking for something to help you connect more deeply with the planet, this may be the podcast for you.

Welcome to the final (ever?) episode of Nature Therapy Online - The Podcast.
Over the last (almost) two years, recording this podcast has been a therapy for me as much as it has been for the lovely people who have sent me such encouraging emails about the show. (You know who you are!)
It is, however, time for me to move on to other nature therapy projects. Ecotherapy is my job but the podcast has been very much a labour of love, and I need to make a bit of room in my life for other labours of love now! The wonderful thing about podcasts is how they remain online and available…I know that people will find these episodes for many years to come and that makes it feel like such a worthwhile project.
I may still record occasional episodes in the future. Perhaps I will even record another whole season if the urge comes upon me one day….or perhaps I’ll never record a podcast again. Who knows! But thank you so much for listening and I hope you keep in touch.
For the final episode, we will walk in the forest and ponder death and renewal. I hope you enjoy it, friends.
Thanks again for listening and remember to always make time for Nature.

Our Place in the World (Taking in a View) (S2E8)
In this episode of the ecotherapy podcast, we explore the power of a good view. I invite you to connect with a special view as we take a mindful walk together.
For this episode, I took a walk in my village in Midlothian, Scotland, and I took in a view that mesmerises me. On a clear day, for miles into the distance, I can see forest, sea, mountains, hills and the magnificent city of Edinburgh. The feelings that arise in me when being present with this mighty view are inexplicable. There is just this sense of smallness and of true connection. A sense of truly being a part of this, not a separate self looking upon a picture from the outside. I also ponder on the many associations (personal and cultural) that can arise when there is so much to take in.
I hope you enjoy this episode of the nature therapy podcast, friends!

Rocks and Birds (S2E7)
Hello folks, and Happy New Year! For this wintery episode at home, I share some thoughts, meditations and music around the themes of rocks and birds, reflecting on some powerful rocks (past and present) from Scotland amongst other themes.
In this month’s ecotherapy podcast, I reflect on the beauty of birdsong and the simple grounding power of rocks.
I share three of my favourite rocky locations with you, all from Scotland: Isle of Barra, The Faery Stane of Midlothian and the Bass Rock in East Lothian. Alongside sharing sounds, stories and meditations from these locations (and generally pondering the healing wonder of rocks), I also play some gorgeous music by an incredible artist which is inspired by endangered birds. To hear/support the music I play on the podcast, please visit Bandcamp.
I hope that you enjoy this month’s nature therapy podcast friends, and that it helps to bring in the new year with some awe and healing.
