A Meeting of Minds in Nature

Cost £150 Cost includes barn/camping fees, particpants will need to bring food.

We will be working together in a group based in the secluded camping barn, or camping in tents in the meadow adjoining. We will venture out into the surrounding native woodlands and along the River Roeburn for contact with nature, and to explore emerging personal experience. There will be time for group process and personal reflection, as well as theoretical input and discussion.

This workshop will be suitable for both for therapeutic practitioners wanting to incorporate the natural environment within their work, and for those already working in this area to help develop ideas and skills further.
