Trained in depth psychology and influenced by indigenous wisdom traditions, he bridges Western therapeutic approaches with ritual practices of community healing.</p> <p>Weller&rsquo;s work on &ldquo;ecological grief&rdquo; proposes that sorrow for environmental destruction represents natural response rather than pathology. He suggests that capacity to feel this grief relates to ability to act on behalf of ecological systems. Through development of grief rituals, men&rsquo;s initiation work, and community healing practices, he has created supportive containers where people can process both personal and collective trauma.</p>
