Module One – The Concepts

This module focuses on deepening your connection with Nature. It also provides the history/origins and the science behind our work

You will start with a full day live online with your cohort for an introduction to this work, you will also experience a nature walk live online.

During this month, there will be daily invites for you to complete to help your own practice.

Module Two – Starting a session

This module is the preparation and the start of a session. The initial elements that make the difference to your participants. You role as a guide and continue to deepen your embodied awareness.

Here we learn about the importance of walking your talk and the difference that provides to your group. We explore what makes a guide excel at their practice and deepens connections for your participants and creating a community.

This month self work will continue with self practices and start to create your own introductions and embodied awareness. Starting to put YOU into your delivery.

Module Three – The Flow

The structure a session, crafting invitations and letting this flow. There are hundreds of invitations and most of these are created in the moment in partnership with nature.

During this module we explore creating and holding a container during the sessions and how to integrate at the end.

Module Four – Holding space

What it means to hold space for you and others.

We use this module to explore ways to hold space for both yourself and others. Creating and holding this container is an important factor for your participants and delivering with ease.

Module Five – deepening connection

Attend 5 days in-person, practising all elements of the session. You will have time and space to practise every part of your sessions, create invitations and find your flow and ease in delivery. This week is excellent in building your confidence to going solo. We also look at different types of landscapes, risk assessments and tea ceremonies.

(If you are unable to attend the 5 day intensive - then you will be offered two live online weekends (before and after this week) for practise and delivery of sessions. You will also be requested to record yourself in delivering a full session and covering each component for certification)
