Rooting your practice in nature: 3 weekends over 6 months, residential programme


  • powdermill woods Powdermill Lane Battle, England, TN33 United Kingdom (map)

THIS COURSE IS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID19 AND IS HOPED TO RUN NEXT YEAR, 2021

Vanessa Jones and Deborah Kelly are experienced arts therapists who have been facilitating land based therapy groups together for many years within Powdermill woods, Battle. Come and join us for 3 weekends over 6 months in this beautiful ancient woodland, for a deep, immersive, residential programme for arts therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, complementary therapists, environmental artists and trainee therapists.

No previous experience of working outdoors therapeutically is necessary, although the programme has been developed to help anchor you and root your existing (or developing) work outdoors and with nature. The facilitators will provide the land, space, time and nutrients needed to explore the therapeutic potential of working in and with nature. The programme will include formal and informal teachings, group discussion, free time and creative arts exercises. There will be opportunities for immersive individual and group experience and discussion around the fire each day.

Participants are invited to camp with us and one simple cooked meal will be provided each day; this is included in the price.

Participants limited to 8, so register your interest as soon as you can to secure your place. Application in writing.
