Terroir refers to the unique combination of soil, climate, geography, and human cultivation that shapes the character of a particular wine/vintage.

Every element of the environment contributes to the flavor, texture, and depth of the final product. In much the same way, our psychological landscapes are formed by an intricate interplay of personal history, culture, relationships, and inner narratives.

By acknowledging our psychological terroir, we can approach ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment. We can ask: What conditions influenced the way I see the world? How have I adapted to the particular “climate” of my upbringing? What elements continue to shape my thoughts and behaviors? How might I refine my inner landscape? Etc, Etc.
