Ecotherapy Applications for Helping Professionals |
|
Join me in Rewilding Your Work, a private, 8 to 14-hour on-line training in which we will embrace the opportunity and responsibility to be nature-connected, ecologically literate, and embodied practitioners while learning approaches to collaborating with the more-than-human world.
Rewilding Your Work is not meant to be prescriptive, but generative; to catalyze your own awareness of nature, body, and creativity in natural settings. You are also likely to find this course personally nourishing. These ideas and experientials are vital at a time when the domestication of our planet, our lifestyles, our emotions, our body, and the field of psychotherapy itself is at an all-time high – threatening the health and sanity of the human animal and global ecosystems. This on-line training is available for individual practitioners or practitioner groups (**Trainings may be offered in-person or on-line**). Please inquire through email or the Contact page to see how this training will fit your needs and desires to transform your work. *You will receive an Ecotherapy certificate upon completion of your chosen hours. A 20-hour certificate may also be available if you complete 6 consultation hours with Kimberly post-training (within 6 months). Consultations may include application to specific clients, review of more nature and body-based experiments and interventions, and/or nature-mentoring to deepen your own knowledge of and creativity in your Place. |

Location:
On-line trainings are, well, on-line.
Any in-person workshops will take place in Golden or anywhere in Colorado upon request. Workshops will be at our ranch on Lookout Mountain, with access to our cabin, land space, horses, and wildlife. Day 2 will be at a local natural area approximately 10 minutes from our ranch.
Our land and neighborhood are welcoming and home to human and more-than-human inhabitants. The dominant presence of beautiful Douglas-Fir trees creates the ecology for mule deer, elk, fox, nuthatches, goldfinches, Steller's jays, coyote, great-horned owls, sharp-shinned hawks, red-tail hawks and many others to thrive. Come visit, engage, and learn from them!
