Dufrechou, Jay P.

Coming home to nature through the body: An intuitive inquiry into experiences of grief, weeping and other deep emotions in response to nature. - 389 p.

Chair: Rosemarie Anderson.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 2002.

This dissertation explored experiences of grief, weeping, and other deep emotions in response to nature. The method was intuitive inquiry, a form of psychological hermeneutics requiring interpretation through the subjectivity of the researcher. The study began with the personal experiences of the researcher, then broadened to include the narratives of 40 other people from 17 of the United States and 4 other countries. Ages ranged from early 20s into retirement years; 1 participant was Native American, the others were European-American or European. Emphasis was placed on developing embodied descriptions of experience, conveying how it felt to have the experience through concrete details of sensation and emotion. The edited stories of participants were grouped thematically as follows: (a) ecological grief; (b) healing; (c) feelings of insignificance, fear, or aloneness; (d) sustenance; (e) longing for deep sensory connection with nature; (f) experiences of God; (g) awareness of brokenness or loss of source; and (h) a return to experience of self as part of nature. Results included the interpretations of the researcher presented as discussion. The primary interpretation was that the experiences represent moments in a transformational process capable of restoring equilibrium in an individual's life and, more broadly, in the culture. Secondary interpretations were that (a) the body has the capacity to mediate psycho-spiritual healing or transformation; (b) humans experience healing or sustenance, felt as unconditional love, when in sensory contact with nature; (c) grief for humanity's failure to live in harmony with nature can initiate or mediate a transformational process; and (d) deep connection with nature can be felt as spiritual experience. The researcher concluded that this process tends to repair the split between mind and body, experienced by many, and the split between humanity and nature, prevalent in industrialized civilization.
