FORESTFULNESS®
Training Course for Doctors and Psychologists
VALUE AND QUALIFICATION
Forestfulness® means self-awareness throughʼSoul of the forest.
It's a scientific protocol, the first in Italy, the first thanks to which prestigious publications were produced. But it is also a protocol that whispers meanings, each one its own, accompanying us into (our) most authentic Nature. This makes it therapeutic, so long as Nature reminds us that we are small, wonderful ecosystems, inserted into a larger ecosystem: a Master of inexhaustible wisdom, from which we can learn precious strategies for Well-Being.
From this protocol comes theʼonly namesake official training course, dedicated to healthcare workers, with theʼgenuine intent to share this knowledge.
Its achievement allows you to qualify as an "Expert in Forest Therapy with the Forestfulness® Method - First Italian Scientific Method" and to become part of theʼRegister of Affiliated Professionals.
The dialogue between creativity and rationality it is the tool that makes theʼimmersion in the forest — with this method and this training path — aʼunique and profound experience.
TIMES AND METHODS
