The WILD path – connecting with Nature whilst walking

This training is a partnership with Nature and Therapy UK leading providers of Forest Therapy. Healing through Nature and the Practise of Shinrin Yoku.

The course is a mixture of on-line and practical learning including a one day fully immersive experience with a Nature and Therapy Shinrin Yoku practitioner/Tutor which must be selected upon enrolment.

It is designed to provide WALX masters and their teams with a deep understanding of how to connect with nature themselves and discover how to help others do the same in order to gain the healing benefits. We explore a range of ways to invite people to slow down and be more aware of their surroundings and how they feel.

Being in nature is proven to reduce anger, fear and stress but it also affects physical wellbeing by reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and the production of harmful stress hormones. Whilst we see some of these effects already within our groups, this training provides a clearer understanding of why this happens and how to facilitate it.

The practical delivery of these sessions requires commitment and is more complex than the typical walks or sessions we provide so there is an application process and introductory video which will help you determine if the course is the right path for you!
