Heart of Eco-Art
Written by Dr. Stacey S. Mallory
“The heart of volunteering is about loving and serving people and investing in their lives.”— Dr. Stacey S. Mallory
We are delighted to continue the processes of Eco-Art given to us by Dr. Theresa Sweeney. Theresa was one of my best-loving friends! She was compassionate, kind, gentle, and super funny! I enjoyed our many exchanges and greatly miss my friend. I wondered at the time I agreed to continue her work, could I (we) continue her vision?
I am delighted to be part of continuing her work. It has been tiring and, at times, chaotic to bring her vision to fruition in the technological world. However, I would not change my experiences because it has been more rewarding than I imagined! I am also in awe of the beauty Theresa created in everything she touched. This inspired me to look beyond the obvious and reach further into my mind, heart, spirit, and soul.
Theresa’s words and imagery is calming. Gently her work brings us back home to ourselves and the natural world. Every step immerses us in the many benefits of Theresa’s work and the work we have added along the way.
Eco-Art volunteers are always there to help you every step of the way. This exchange is not one-way. We are learning from you when you step onto the Eco-Art pathway.
We look forward to continuing the Eco-Art program and Theresa’s vision to connect individuals with Art and Nature.

CONNECTION AND CREATIVITY
One goal of Eco-Art Therapy is to help reconnect people and businesses with the restorative, healing powers of the Earth. The Eco-Art Therapy courses teach that people are part of Nature and show that many of our problems result from our having separated ourselves from its intelligent ways. Eco-Art helps us learn to listen to the songs of the Earth and then apply those messages to our everyday lives. Eco-Art combines art and Nature in fun, experiential activities that help promote self-discovery and well-being. Like Nature, artwork facilitates the surfacing of a chain of subconscious emotions and memories. It is often more accessible for people to connect with their deeply underlying, internally hidden beliefs through the art or nature experience than through verbal discussion alone.
