The Ecotherapy Certificate will offer training in evidence-supported approaches for transforming the human relationship to nature in the service of healing and well-being. These deep approaches, fashioned for both personal- and community-level work, include horticultural therapy, animal-assisted therapy, time stress management, managing “eco-anxiety,” and critically analyzing the media's role in the debate about mass-produced food.
The certificate program, which can be completed in one year, offers students the opportunity to learn theory and information online and practice by participating in two three-day intensive meetings in person.
