Introduction to Ecotherapy

Ecotherapy supports wellbeing through connection with the natural world. This workshop is for anyone curious about ecotherapy personally, as well as professionals wanting to integrate nature‑based approaches into their work. We’ll explore the history of ecotherapy, its role in society today, and why nature‑based support is increasingly important. Discussion and practical outdoor activities will help you strengthen your own relationship with nature and consider how this can shape your personal or professional practice.
