The power of coaching in nature and nature in coaching – a transformational pairing for a more humane and more sustainable world
What do deep connection and close observation of nature enable us to do?
How can we engage with nature from a sensitive and emotional perspective?
We live in a world that is increasingly disconnected from nature. This human disconnection from the natural world presents a real concern. Humans are becoming increasingly desensitized and unable to appreciate the magnitude of what is occurring (e.g. melting glaciers, droughts, loss of biodiversity); the impact it will have on current and future generations as part of a highly interconnected and interdependent system; and the possibilities that exist to do something about it. As a result, they feel less directly concerned and less compelled to engage and act.
Join us in a conversation with two highly knowledgeable and experienced nature coaches who use the wilderness in Africa and the majestic Swiss Alps as spaces for people to reconnect with nature and its complex, perfect system, reconnect with themselves, and enable a unique level of awareness, mindfulness and a renewed sense of agency. The conversation will include the testimonies of participants who have benefitted directly from coaching in nature, who will share how their experience impacted them.
What you will learn:
- What coaching in nature is and why it is powerful and necessary.
- Different philosophies and geographical perspectives of this type of coaching.
- Best practices and stories, and how to make it impactful during and beyond the coaching in nature experience.
