What is terrapsychology?
Originally the fieldwork and research approach now known as “terrapsychology” called for the deep study of the presence or soul of place, including the things and creatures within its ambit. To the original terrapsychological emphasis on finding a contemporary language to describe the aliveness of locales once thought inhabited by a specific spirit or genius loci we add the task of drawing on environmental psychology, conservation psychology, ecology, geography, and related empirically based approaches insofar as they support embodied, storied, intimately registered resonances with the places we investigate and dwell in.
