Details

Who is it for?
Aimed at existing outdoor leaders, healthcare practitioners, social prescribers, therapists, and those wanting to start out on learning about ecotherapy and green-care practices. Primarily for those wanting to work with groups rather than one-to-one. Talk to us if you are not sure if this is for you. NB This does not qualify you to work as a therapist.

There will be work fro you to do between sessions! Please give yourself time and space for these. 😊

Course Dates and Times 2025
Session 1: One day - Friday July 25th 10am-4.30pm
Session 2: Two days - Friday Sept 26th and Sat 27th (with overnight camping option) 10am Friday to 5pm Saturday
Session 3: One day - Friday Oct 31st 10am-4.30pm

The overnight element allows more time to develop connections with each other and with the beings of the woods. If you are not able or do not wish to camp, then we ask that you stay late on the Friday (until around 8pm) and arrive for 9am the Saturday. If you would like help with camping gear please ask. There is space for camper vans.
