welcome @bodyandearth!
I am a scholar, artist and 'jack of all trades.' I have a graduate degree in transpersonal psychology with a certificate in ecopsychology.
very cool! you may find likeminded individuals in the #ecotrain tag -- we talk about consciousness, society, spirituality and the environment and i would say many of us are interested in ecopsychology (even if we don't call it that!). we answer a semi weekly Question of the Week that you're welcome to join us on. we also gather in a place on Discord (a non-steem based chat service that many steemians chat in- it's kind of a thing here lol) and you're welcome to join us, introduce yourself there and tell them i sent you :)
either way, hope you enjoy yourself on steemit! welcome to the community. #homesteading, #nature, #psychology are other hashtags where you may find likeminded individuals! wishing you the best as you settle in and find your way around :)
Thank you so much for all of the awesome information and encouragement @mountainjewel! I'm really grateful to have gotten some sort of direction right off the bat. Wishing you a beautiful weekend.
