https://www.glastonburynaturalhealth.co.uk/rewilding-therapy-2026/This course is for you if you’d like to develop a nature-based practice within your professional work with others, and deepen your own sense of inter-being with the ‘more than human’ world.
It would be relevant for counsellors, health workers, psychotherapists, social workers, mentors, coaches, youth-workers, walking group leaders, teachers/educators and other professional therapists.
