Ecotherapy training for Professionals

Ecosystemic Online recorded webinars

Rewilding training - hybrid online & in nature

This intensive experiential ecosystemic training  is the foundation course to learn about an ecosystemic framework, theory and practice, and transfer therapeutic skills to working outdoors.
It’s running in 4 seasons. It will be experiential engaging in nature connection activities and self-exploration so that ideas can be shared and discussed in the group. 

The first 2 seasons Autumn and Winter will be more focused on deepening your relationship with nature, exploring our ecology of selves and inner landscapes through Nature as a diffractive mirror, tracking back early seeds.

Spring and Summer will focus more on growing ecosystemic seedlings in practice. More specifically how to practice alongside nature as a co-therapist, the wild reflecting team, therapeutic landscaping and positioning, the therapeutic ecosystem, seeing nature as a green canvas for the creative process to flow, dual hospitality and imagin-action.
