What participants say:
“This course was beneficial and welcoming of anybody who has any level of interest in the field of Ecotherapy. The forum is open, yet gently ushers the learner to growing through academic, theoretical, practical, shared learning and thus creates a holistic learning experience. The course also offers an approach that is conducive to both clinical and less clinical participants – enabling learning to happen without superficial boundaries.”
~ Memona Hossain, Service Resolution Coordinator – working with children and youth, Ontario, Canada
“…Ariana’s course is totally inspiring and has excited my passion for nature connection even more..Ariana is skillful at tailoring the course to a wide variety of individuals and backgrounds…It is a vital course to assist not only our health as humans but also the health of the planet.”
~ Helen G, Nurse and Complementary Therapist, Scotland, UK.
“Historically, my work in the Natural World and my clinical work were separate, compartmentalized. On one hand, there were my outdoor workshops and on the other, my indoor psychotherapy practice. This course furnished me with the training I needed to seamlessly integrate my work in the natural world into my private practice. I was provided scholarly and well-grounded ecotherapy training that transformed my way of working with clients. It is relevant, sustaining and life giving. My practice is forever changed.”
~ Sherylyn Pitt, MSW LCSW LCAS
“I’d been dreaming for years about doing therapy in nature, but I felt nervous about the issues involved in taking clients outdoors safely. Ariana’s class was very holistic – she covered the legal, ethical, and clinical issues thoroughly, and she contextualized it all with political, philosophical, and spiritual perspectives. The weekly discussion forums and video conferences made me feel part of a learning community that was spread around the globe. I even got outdoors for my first ecotherapy session with a client! This course truly helped me expand my practice, and I did some personal and spiritual growth along the way.”
~ Kip Williams, MFT and Doctoral Student in Psychology
