An intro to eco-psychology- ''opening the door''
March 21st-22nd Spring Equinox
With Jane Sanders, Deb Millar & Michelle Di-Lorenzo
This course is for you if you’d like to develop a nature-based practice within your professional work with others, and deepen your own sense of inter-being with the ‘more than human’ world.
It would be relevant for counsellors, health workers, psychotherapists, social workers, mentors, coaches, youth-workers, walking group leaders, teachers/educators and other professional therapists.
Over these two days our aim is to enable you to:
-
Gain confidence in working with others outside in nature
-
Incorporate the symbols, metaphors and cycles of nature as a mirror of your inner journey
-
Engage with others in exploring how to integrate eco-psychology into your everyday life and work
-
Strengthen the sense of interconnection and inter-being with the more than human world
Please note: there are places to stay nearby or you can wild camp on the Saturday night (both week-ends) at Hallr wood. Ask for more details if you would like to do this.
