ECOTHERAPY SUPERVISION
Professional group support for ecotherapy practitioners
Live monthly group meetings to support your professional practice.
These professional supervision sessions provide ongoing support as you start, or continue to develop, your ecotherapy practice. Working with scenarios from our own real-world personal and professional experiences we explore challenges like:
- managing risk outdoors;
- creating boundaries outdoors;
- working with projections and unhealthy coping mechanisms;
- ecological anxiety;
- dealing with emergencies;
- safeguarding;
- designing activities & practices;
- advanced facilitation techniques;
- activism as healing;
- equipment choice;
- dealing with bad weather and challenging outdoor conditions.
These sessions will help you make your work safe, effective and deeply rewarding - for both you and your clients.
Group sessions are for 90-minutes and take place in time zone cohorts with a maximum of 10 participants per group. Please get in touch to explore scheduling in your time zone.
Supervision includes membership of the Fire Circle, our community forum. There is also a private area for supervisees.
The Professional Membership Plan includes monthly supervision.
