Concept & Goals
Nature offers much more than just soothing, relaxing, and healthy aspects. It can be a helper, supporter, teacher, guide, and mirror. Nature coaching integrates these aspects into an ongoing, open-ended process.
In this intensive training, you will learn how to bring people into contact with nature in such a way that they can find their own answers and have profound experiences with their life questions, blockages, and difficulties. The role of the nature coach is to be present, to support, and to build bridges between people and nature. They act as a midwife for the solution path already present within the individual. This type of guidance is touching, deep, and always surprising and requires substantial self-experience. Therefore, the nature coach training requires a willingness to engage with your own life themes.
The Nature Coach training is designed for those interested in guiding others through their personal or professional issues in nature. The training also provides many examples for personal development and the further development of your own nature coaching method. Fundamentals of nature coaching, open-ended accompaniment of individuals, associative process support, self-experience, and nature experiences are covered. No prior knowledge is necessary.
