Dr Geoff Berry

Dr Geoff Berry was awarded his PhD (Monash University 2010) for a thesis that explored the human relationship with nature, as told through light as a vehicle of consciousness and symbol of goodness, order and abundance. He also completed an MA (Deakin University 2005) about how our dreams link us to powerful mythic patterns and symbols, again with a focus on how this relates to the human relationship with nature.
Geoff has been integrating his scholarly interest in ancestral wisdom and healing traditions with practice, both in academic positions and as a Trauma Informed Carer trainer, for over a decade.
Geoff is the Australian representative to the International Ecopsychology Society and teaches Ecopsychotherapy at the Ikon Institute, between his other academic responsibilities. He is an editor of PAN: Philosophy Activism Nature, has served as Chairperson of the Melbourne Zen Group (2005-2008), and more recently as the inaugural CEO of the South Coast NSW Aboriginal Elders group (2019-2020).
Geoff regularly presents and publishes on ecotherapy, myth, animism, dreams and symbology and his Advanced Ecotherapy Training Course can be found at this website, www.naturecalling.org
