ecoSelf LEARNING

This course is a must for anyone wishing to emerge into the world of ecotherapy, or those already in the field who feel they want to examine what they do in greater depth. It asks thought-provoking questions of its participants and urges us to consider everything we do carefully. It underlines how important the language we use is and how much we need to think about what drives us in this work. Learning the theory of anything can be dry, but this course is the opposite of that. It fills you with excitement of the possibilities ahead.

A series of really thought-provoking questions and prompts. This checklist was an ideal way to focus my intentions as well as identifying my knowledge gaps. It helped me to make some decisions about what I needed to do next. I was able to begin the next course with some clear objectives for my learning journey.

A great, simple and easy to access introduction with comprehensive points for reflection, introspection and the intentional weaving/creating of your own individual ecotherapy practice. Really appreciating the additional resources and links to explore other thinkers/therapists/practitioners in the field.

This course is a fascinating deep dive in to the real life affects of a nature-based wellbeing programme. It highlights how a (seemingly) small intervention can really be lifechanging for individuals. It was wonderful to get detailed information about the intricacies of planning and undertaking such a programme from the perspective of the facilitator. The results (i.e the improvement in the mental wellbeing of participants) are truly remarkable.

It was an absolutely worthwhile learning experience! Many of these topics were in my head for such a long time! This session allowed me to THINK about them and STRUCTURE them to be practical and APPLICABLE.

This course looks in detail at how best to prepare clients for an outdoor solo experience, and how to make sure that they are mentally and physically prepared for the experience. The information concerning the art of the post-experience story telling circle is so helpful; makes you realise that everything a facilitator does (pre/post solo experience) is a vital part of the client's experience.
