Abstract

Ecospirituality is a manifestation of the spiritual connection between human beings and the environment. Ecospirituality incorporates an intuitive and embodied awareness of all life and engages a relational view of person to planet, inner to outer landscape, and soul to soil. This study describes an appraisal of a pattern in the human-environmental, continuous mutual process and innovative change; a phenomenological study that used the focus group method. Randomly selected volunteer registrants (n = 36) of phase one of the American Holistic Nurses' Association Certificate Program in Holistic Nursing constituted the sample and participated in one of four focus groups. The findings of this study contribute to holistic nursing by examining the essence of the lived experience of an ecospiritual consciousness of select holistic nurses. The essences of an ecospiritual consciousness are uniquely inseparable entities embedded within the framework of an ecospiritual consciousness. The essences are tending, dwelling, reverence, connectedness, and sentence.
