Level 1 | Adventure & Nature Therapy Practitioner
Um mit Level 1 zu starten benötigt Ihr 200 Std. nachgewiesen Fort- / Weiterbildung/ Erfahrung im Bereich erfahrungsorientiertes/ erlebnisorientiertes Arbeiten.
Es kontaktieren uns sehr viele interessierte Menschen, die entweder in ihren Ländern kein strukturiertes Fort- und Weiterbildungsangebot haben oder zu wenige Praxisstunden nachweisen können.
Somit haben wir mit unserem Kooperationspartner DISCOVERED SPACES in Bulgarien das Angebot LEVL 0 entwickelt. Ihr könnt hier 60 Stunden praktische Erfahrung sammeln, die wir auf jeden Fall anerkennen.
Der Kurs Level 0 wird nur “international” (also auf Englisch) angeboten.

Comments from our participants
As part of the 2025 graduating class I never thought I would surpass myself like this and graduate as “Adventure & Nature Therapist” (Level 3).
My thesis titled “Perspectives and recommendations for the use of nature and adventure therapy with queer adolescents and young adults” even won an award at the international congress “erleben & lernen” and will be published soon.
I am curious to see where my future career path will take me.
I have been accompanying the Adventure Therapy Institute with my cameras since the very beginning. It is fascinating to see how the participants and courses have developed. I would never have thought that this would fill me with so much joy. With my camera, I was able to get to know interesting participants very personally and accompany them through the lens. Thank you for the fantastic natural spaces that I was able to get to know with you.
The trainingcourse with ATI was an eventful journey for me – both professionally and personally. In my closeness to nature and with my previous experience, I learned through this training how powerful and healing nature-based processes can be in therapeutic work.
I am grateful for this time. It has enriched my professional path and opened up new perspectives for my personal development. I benefit daily from the methods I learned, the network and the attitude that this training imparts.
The connection between nature and healing is not just a concept for me, but has become a living part of my everyday life.
