I gained a massive amount of insight from this training both personally and professionally. I was profoundly moved by the process. I came away refreshed and inspired.
The course helped me to develop therapeutic work outdoors with young people. I have learnt so much about the process and how to develop and structure our outdoor sessions.
I feel l have also learnt so much about how everything links up and all the connections between establishing a healthier planet in conjunction with healthier people.
Having recently completed this training, I feel I have stepped through a threshold; one which has transformed me, and how I contribute to our world.
From terminology to concept to fields of study, I feel more confident in crafting a vision for my own offerings. I feel well on my way to the next steps and am richer for the learning.
This training programme has helped me to reach a deep resolve in my choices for the direction of my life and the work that I wish to do in the world.
To anyone who wants to understand what it really means to climb down from our human superiority and truly inhabit the world as nature intended – and lead others in doing so – I can’t recommend this training enough.
The course was very helpful in opening up possibilities for how I can use an ecotherapy approach in my clinical work as a psychologist. It was also extremely valuable personally, in helping me to navigate my way into a new phase in my life. I guess you could say the training was transformational!
Thank you for the course! I really enjoyed it and it was very thought-provoking.
I especially appreciated the perspectives and experiences that were so clearly articulated. The course has helped me to work towards framing and understanding my own work more clearly.
Don´t hesitate. Just do it! I promise you that you will feel great and brave and you won´t be disappointed.
I work to connect children to nature in India and this course has helped me to build language and structure around my work to better communicate with others around me.
I have also greatly benefited from the resources available which would be very hard for me to find elsewhere.
