This course teaches you to be a facilitator for the Ecospirituality Group Program developed by the Mindful Ecotherapy Center, LLC. The Ecospirituality Program is a 12-week nature-based spiritual self-improvement group program. Each group meets outdoors for about 90 minutes and is guided by a trained Ecospirituality Facilitator.
There is a companion workbook for the program that is available for purchase here. A FREE copy of this workbook in pdf format is included in the course documents section for this course. This workbook was designed to accompany the 12-week program.
