Immerse yourself in the forested hills and gentle farmlands of the Carolina Piedmont while training to become a certified forest therapy guide at RambleRill Farm in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
The Forest Therapy School offers a mindfulness-based, experiential learning journey on the path to becoming a forest therapy guide.
Forest therapy is a growing global wellness movement backed by 40 years of scientific research. A type of ecotherapy that focuses on the therapeutic benefits of being among the trees, it is often referred to as forest bathing. It is a mindfulness-based practice that fosters a reconnection with nature - a waking up to all of life, our wholeness, and our belonging.
Whether you are taking this training for personal growth or to share the life-changing benefits of forest therapy with others, the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to give you a deeper understanding of the emerging field of forest therapy. You’ll walk away with the skills and confidence to guide participants in meaningful and restorative forest bathing experiences.
Over the course of 3.5 days at RambleRill Farm in Hillsborough, North Carolina, you will learn:
-What it means to be a forest therapy guide
-The history of forest therapy and forest bathing
-The holistic benefits of the practice along with the science to back it up
-Mindfulness in nature and embodiment practices
-How to offer guided nature meditations

-A reliable and trusted walk sequence for guiding your clients
-How to craft nature-based invitations for client engagement
-How to personally style a forest bathing walk

-The psycho-spiritual dimension of the human-nature connection
Following the in-person training retreat, you will enter into a 6-week mentored practicum to deepen your skills where you will participate in weekly Zoom meetups, complete assignments, and guide forest therapy walks.
The Forest Therapy School’s Certified Forest Therapy Guide program is accredited by the International Mindfulness and Meditation Alliance and the Continuing Professional Development Certification Service.
