Alasdair Taylor has trained both as an environmental educator and psychotherapist. He is also a professional storyteller who uses poetry and mythology as part of his ecotherapy practice.

​

Having worked for many years facilitating woodland-based education and therapy programmes for a wide range of communities in Scotland, Alasdair developed the PRANA (Positive Reflection and Association with Nature Awareness) modality of ecotherapy in 2015. He then founded Earth for Life, a social enterprise which delivered forest-based ecotherapy programmes for adults and young people.

​

Alasdair has now returned to Australia, the land of his birth, where he teaches and practices through his business, PRANA Ecotherapy. Alasdair offers nature-based services for individuals and groups, both face-to-face and online.

​

He draws inspiration from a plethora of sources, including activists and educators such as Joanna Macy, Thomas Berry and Steve Van Maitre, the ancient traditions of his Celtic ancestors, Sufi spiritual lineages and Indigenous Australian elders and teachers.
