Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy: An Introduction Online Home Study Course
This is an introductory-level course in facilitating the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Program. The 12-week Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Program combines the skills of mindfulness with the healing power of nature.
MBE is used as a framework for helping individuals and families to find deeper connections in their own lives, and to give more meaning and enjoyment to the activities of daily living. By re-integrating ourselves with nature, we are able to tap into nature’s healing power and to heal the earth as we heal ourselves.
The?Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Workbook?and the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Workshop series were developed by?Charlton Hall?as a 12-week program to help individuals re-connect with the healing power of nature. The series meets once per week for 90 minutes, usually in an outdoor setting. The first six sessions cover the skills of mindfulness, and the next six sessions cover integrating mindful skills into ecotherapy. The six mindful skills are about “what” to do, and the six ecotherapy skills are about “how” to do it.
Each of the twelve sessions covers a distinct skill that builds on previous skills, and provides activities and interventions that can be used in both group and individual therapy sessions.
