A lifelong apprentice to nature and psyche, Hilary Leighton, PhD, MEd, IBP, RCC is associate professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability at Royal Roads University and an eco-psychotherapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor in private practice at True Nature Counselling and Psychotherapy. Drawing upon the wisdom of ecopsychology, depth psychology, shadow-work, whole systems thinking, dream tending, mythology, nature-and arts-based practices, and poetry, her research, teaching, and earth- and body-centred psychology reflect the ethical dilemma, suffering and loss of our relationship with what is wild and contemplates embodied, embedded learning as an initiatory journey toward maturation and a more soulful way of belonging to the world. She feels guiding others toward their true natures and genuine (genius) paths, to be a blessing. Leighton holds a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Victoria (2014), a Master of Education in Curriculum and Education from Simon Fraser University (2004), an Integrative Body Psychotherapy Certification, and is a Myers-Briggs Certified Instructor and not least of all, a TWTR facilitator. She was recipient of the University of Victoria Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship Award (2012-14).
