Forest Bathing Course Instructor for Children & Teenagers

Details

This is how children experience forest bathing:

Children experience forest bathing as a playful walk, free from pressure and obligations. The method is inherently a valuable experience for every child. Forest bathing has already shown excellent results in the care of children and teenagers, for example, in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and obesity. Among other benefits, forest bathing can stabilize the psyche of children and teenagers, calm the mind, strengthen the connection between body and mind, and improve concentration.

The training for Forest Bathing Course Instructor for Children & Teenagers combines the theoretical background of forest bathing and the forest ecosystem with practical application. You will receive a script with valuable exercises and tips for guiding groups of children and teenagers and designing events. From the first day, you will lead units yourself, so that by the end of the training, you can confidently lead your own course.

Please note: For those already trained and certified as forest bathing course instructors by us, we offer a 2-day advanced module.
