Wellbeing In Nature training options
You can choose to learn about Wellbeing In Nature or Mindfulness in Nature for your own benefit, or enrol on an Agored accredited training course, designed to help you to further your passion for benefitting others.
We provide training options that embrace both face-to-face and online aspects, developed to best support preference and life circumstances.
Only the Mindfulness in Nature learning pathway is delivered completely online, all other training options include a residential requirement.
The Wellbeing In Nature weekend experience is delivered completely face-to-face, whilst the Wellbeing In Nature Practitioner, Level 2 and Level 3 training is delivered both face-to-face and online.
Level 2 Wellbeing In Nature training is suitable for people wanting to deepen their own knowledge concerning the benefits of Nature Connection. It is a good option to choose if you don’t have the time available to take on the Level 3 Practitioner Qualification which involves a lot of study-time and also delivery of 6 sessions.
The Level 3 Practitioner training is pretty in-depth. Considered very worthwhile by those who have completed it, many can find they struggle with the required time commitment and the practicalities around running the 6 sessions (which are assessed).
Whatever ‘Nature Connection’ option you choose it will, for certain, enhance your life through deepening insight into not only what it means to really connect with nature, but how to gain ‘meaningfulness’ from the experience.
Use the ‘quick links’ below to read more about the various training options we have available. We hope you will decide to start a conversation as the first step on your path to deepening your connection with both nature and yourself.

Wellbeing In Nature weekend experience
Wellbeing In Nature Accredited Practitioner Qualification
Nurturing awareness in service-users in how nature connection can not only soothe the over-thinking mind but help rebalance emotions is central to the ethos underpinning the running of Wellbeing in Nature sessions. The restorative effects to be gained through nature connection are well recognised and scientifically proven. The provision of meaningful invitations that engage individuals more deeply with nature can foster deeper feelings of connection with themselves, an important step in facilitating awareness about what it is they need.
The full training package for the Level 3 WIN qualification is made up of 3 Units covering the theory underpinning nature connection and wellbeing, practical aspects of Wellbeing in Nature session delivery, together with guidance about sustainable management of natural resources.
Accredited by Agored and developed with recommendations from the NHS, the training includes support to deliver 6 face-to-face sessions to a group of service users.
Read the brochure for the Level 3 Wellbeing In Nature training, including a more detailed breakdown of what’s covered follow this link. Read more about WIN Level entry requirements and cost.
Much of the theoretical course content is delivered online. There is a requirement to attend a 2.5 day residential at our woodland base in East Northants (between Thrapson and Corby).
Featured below is a recording of some recent student feedback following the 2.5 day residential element of the training. We hope you find it helpful to hear, unfiltered, the experience of past students.
