Both have lost their ecological connections and both are experiencing the symptoms of this loss. In zoo animals this disease is called zoochosis. Is it possible that many of the issues we are experiencing today are just normal responses to an unnatural lifestyle? Are we suffering from a kind of human zoochosis? In this 6 week course you will learn the theory, and practices needed to move beyond zoochosis and heal ourselves and the world around us. https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/engagements/canadian-ecopsychology-network-presentation monthly 0.5 2021-06-10 https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/engagements/living-one-interview-w-gay-bradshaw monthly 0.5 2021-06-10 https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/engagements/beyond-zoochosis-video monthly 0.5 2021-11-07 https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/engagements/psychology-today monthly 0.5 2021-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/1627741825248-F6TS1SMC3DVC2KCO9PKI/psychologytoday%2Fvaughanwilkinsphd.jpg Media - Psychology Today Interview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/engagements/beyond-zoochosis-round-2 monthly 0.5 2021-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/896ac795-1ddb-4f5b-8ebf-54c10979cb2b/ice-tea-AZZ4Dev4kbc-unsplash+%281%29.jpg Media - Fall Class at The Kerulos Institute - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/engagements/interior-psychology-interview monthly 0.5 2024-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/bcf0d89d-0c0e-45b3-95a1-895a3bfa30ba/Screenshot+2022-01-16+at+11.16.09+AM+%281%29.png Media - Interior Psychology Interview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/engagements/interior-psychology-interview-pps6e monthly 0.5 2024-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/5150cf67-4aec-480c-b134-b6da3a33dab5/belongingwild.jpg Media - Belonging to the Wild Interview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/thesis daily 0.75 2023-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/1600644386076-EQJTBW0OHUF1DN7YKN8R/dane-deaner-photo.jpg Thesis What if ecological and psychological health are inextricably intertwined? What if the way we are living is making us sick? I began this project to answer these and more questions about human health on this planet. Through my work with zoo animals I had begun to suspect that the answers laid in our deep connections to place and the loss that is experienced when that relationship is thwarted or distorted. It is my hope that this work can offer others the same sense of belonging and attunement that it brought me. Together we can continue to discover what becomes available when we come home to our shared inheritance as members of the biosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847760973-X5KYS9GW8IKNKKBI4PH1/image-asset.jpeg Thesis - What We Share With Animals Captivity whether experienced as physical or psychological sets the stage for the lasting effects of developmental trauma known as Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This captive context, and the symptoms it elicits are analogous across captive zoo animals and humans living in modern techno-industrial society. Our shared kinship with nonhuman animals and the inextricable link to their suffering allows for new depths of empathy and understanding to emerge around the generation, perpetuation, and exacerbation of trauma. By removing the divisive vestige of human exceptionalism new avenues for healing have also emerged. https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/about-vaughan daily 0.75 2021-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/1627742488817-TSYV1WBE2W4MLOKGYALD/vaughan_wilkins_phd.jpg Bio - About Vaughan Vaughan Wilkins is a ecopsychologist studying the impacts of the loss of ecological participation. A skilled and inventive educator with a strong background in facilitation, Vaughan has spent the last decade developing programming and curriculum designed to address and undo the impacts of enculturated captivity. A supporter of regenerative approaches to education, business, psychology, and environmental participation, Vaughan is a sought-after speaker on the future of human participation in systems design. Vaughan currently teaches at the Kerulos Center for Nonviolence. The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence is a teaching center and sanctuary. The School for Nature offers guidance and tools for learning how to live in peace and health in unity with Nature. The School builds on over two decades of research and publications devoted to supporting Animal self-determination and dignity. The Sanctuary and Wildlife Refuge provides dignity and lifetime care for abused and disabled Animal refugees. Prior to joining Kerulos Vaughan served as the department chair and lead curriculum designer for Summit Public Schools’ Concrete Next Step Program, which serves seven Bay Area high schools working to redefine pathways for students to live lives of wellness and purpose. His big picture thinking, and deep commitment to building empathy, empowerment, and belonging is evident in his curriculum design, professional development, and teaching style. Prior to joining Summit Public Schools Vaughan founded and served as CEO of True North Canine Adventures, a successful dog training company that incorporated his zoo research and applied psychology lens to transform the welfare and care of dogs across the Bay Area. In 2014 Vaughan sold his company and went on to pursue his doctoral study of ecopsychology. His research focuses on the juncture between human development, collective trauma, and ecotherapy. In 2018 and 2019 his theory of enculturated captivity and a corresponding series of therapeutic initiatives was piloted at six Bay Area high schools. Its powerful impacts on students saw it launched as an outdoor education course available to high schools nationwide called: Local Wilderness. Vaughan holds a PhD in east-west psychology from The California Institute of Integral Studies, and an MA degree in the psychology of animal behavior from Hunter College. Since beginning his doctoral research Vaughan has worked as a leader, mentor, facilitator and coach. He continues to bring his heart centered engagement to offering talks, trainings, and workshops to help people shake off the captivity of these unprecedented times, and come home to their senses. https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/1600644819282-PVBXXVP9LUC2SUDMPT62/lucrezia-carnelos-uxFqKPkMCvo-unsplash.jpg Contact https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/home daily 1.0 2021-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/1600643133312-5Y2YPQTVN6A4J9W6F0JK/vaughan_wilkins_zoo_captivity.jpg Home - Identifying Our Captivity The first step toward living lives of holistic wellness as mutually enhancing members of the earth community is coming back to our senses. There is a form of low-grade collective developmental trauma that pervades our age. This same form of low-grade collective developmental trauma effects nonhuman animals held in physical captivity. By engaging our senses and coming back to our bodies as we experience the animate earth we can begin to identify the contours of our own enculturated captivity and move toward true psychological health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67cc1410482f4a96060f72/1626463476214-WKO5U7W6G90IC808M57Z/5CN_1864.jpg Home - About Vaughan Vaughan Wilkins is a ecopsychologist studying the impacts of the loss of ecological participation.
