Join our ‘Growing Roots’ Online Practitioner Training and be part of our growing community of practitioners!

Our ‘Growing Roots’ training is designed to give you the necessary knowledge, foundations and skills to safely move your practice into nature. This course has been carefully crafted and designed to provide you with strong ‘roots’ to grow your nature-based practice.

The course is 12 lessons long and has more than 25 hours of mixed-media learning material to suit diverse learning styles. We encourage you to follow along week-by-week but you can follow along at your own pace in a way that suits your learning needs and lifestyle. You will have access to this course for 12 months.

As part of the Growing Roots training,  you will have free student membership for 12 months. As part of your membership, we invite you to monthly check-ins with the tutors.

These 1-hour sessions are your space to connect, learn, and grow in your EcoSensory journey. Join. They will be run by our team of EcoSensory Tutors (Co-Founders and Clinical Leads in the field of Clinical Psychology and Occupational Therapy) and will give you access to a community of like-minded practitioners using EcoSensory Therapy. Come along to exchange ideas, delve into cutting-edge research, and build a tight-knit community ruled by peer support. 

On completion of the training, practitioners may call their nature-based work ‘EcoSensory Informed Practice’.

The Colchester Practicum has been developed in a local community space, to encourage participants to see what they can do in their local town centre park. Despite being close to the town centre, you will feel miles away from it all, immersed in the natural beauty of the local woodland.
