Nature & Therapy’s Forest Bathing Training
Our 3 stage Practitioner training has been developed to give participants the key skills and training necessary to start confidently leading Forest Bathing walks, and to build on those skills to complete our International Forest Therapy Diploma.
We do not offer this training online, as we believe that in order to fully embrace the practise of shinrin yoku it is vital to be out in the woods learning from the trees through live in-person training with a teacher.
Somatically feeling and responding to the benefits of Forest bathing and experiential learning is key to integrating and embodying the teaching principles.
Our Practitioner training is accredited by The CMA and CPDuk.
Once qualified, you can...

“When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us.
Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things.
When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us.”
John O’ Donohue: Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
