Deep EXPERIENCES IN NATURE FOR WELLBEINGNOTE: Due to moving this
workshop online, two outdoor activities will be required before
attendance. Each activity will take about 30 minutes and can be done
in any outdoor space near your home. The activities will be sent out 1
week prior to the workshop.
Description: This workshop is designed to reveal how outdoor
experiences in local environments aid in focusing and wellness.
Therapists, counselors, social workers, teachers, youth leaders or
anyone interested in practicing wellness outdoors is welcome to
attend. Using an Adlerian process, we will translate our experience
with reference to nature’s wellness qualities. We will discuss a
spectrum of personal growth in relationship to nature and how nature
acts as co-therapist.
Outcomes: Participants will be able to:
· Structure an outdoor experience for wellness
· Claim their own transcendent qualities of nature
· Delineate the spectrum of deep nature experiences
· Name at least three types of outdoor wellness
practices
· State at least three risk-management issues related to
outdoor wellness activities
