This course will help you learn of the background, theoretical underpinnings, and practical implications of seeing clients outdoors. You will gain knowledge of clinical vignettes and explore how you might consider integrating nature more into your practice. It will be held fully online but will be very interactive and include group discussion, breakout rooms, and nature-based exercises in participants’ own gardens.
This Course has now been run 5 times and has had great feedback. I take participant feedback very seriously and continually look to improve the content and delivery.
Course Structure:
-
This unique course is developed to allow participants to engage in a very interesting and blended learning experience.
-
It is designed as a highly interactive small group training which will include periods of outdoor time.
- Participants will engage with natural environments local to them during the course – this may be a garden, local park, country road etc.
- Further outdoor experiences will be encouraged between workshops
Check out my article in the Spring Edition of Inside Out or on the Nature Therapy section of my website for some insight into the theory and practice of working outdoors. While the article is more academic than the workshop, it will provide some background into this growing area of practice.
