In Fall 2010, John F. Kennedy University rolled out a one-year graduate-level Certificate in Ecotherapy and Sustainable Systems. This certificate is a hybrid, with course content online and over a hundred hours of assignments offline to balance information and theory with application and direct practice. Offered by the Department of Consciousness & Transformative Studies (Pleasant Hill, CA campus), the Certificate is designed to train ecotherapists and cultural mentors who desire to facilitate deep transformation, education, and healing by guiding individuals and groups into consciously beneficial relationships with the natural world. Included are tools for practicing ecotherapy, educating one's community about the scientific, social, and psychological aspects of sustainability, leadership skills, key concepts from ecopsychology and related fields, and introductions to the latest studies and practices in horticultural therapy and interspecies healing and communication.
Japanese nature therapy: A beginner's guide to forest bathing - ABC Life. When Kate Bendal told her bushwalking husband that she was going to try forest bathing, he wondered if it involved swimming or nudity.
