Andy
says:
‘Ecotherapy is much more than a walk in the woods. The
invitation is to spend a day outdoors with the intention of creating a deeper
connection to Nature and in the process increase our sense of well-being. The
use of the outdoors for well-being is becoming increasingly popular. The
ecotherapy I train people to use is leading edge in its use of specific
activities that bring people closer to nature and in turn improves their
well-being. You will experience the ecotherapy activities I do with my clients
and receive the positive benefits for yourself. There will also be an
opportunity to reflect on ecotherapy and how it relates to your professional
work.’
