🌿 Trauma-informed and nature-based practice
Theoretical framework
This 2-hour online session introduces a trauma-informed, experience- and nature-based practice in line with the ENBI (Experience- & Nature-Based Interventions) framework. Designed as a location-independent format, it integrates guided attentional focus, embodied and perception-based practices, and structured reflective processes. The aim is to support self-regulation, stabilization, and meaning-oriented experience through a conscious relational engagement with both inner and outer natural phenomena.
Trauma-informed principles
The session is grounded in core trauma-informed principles such as safety, choice, individual pacing ⏳, and consistent respect for personal boundaries. Change is not pursued or imposed; instead, the format offers a process-open space for sensing, noticing, and reflecting, allowing experience to unfold according to the participant’s own rhythm.
Nature as a relational experiential field
Within the ENBI understanding, nature is not applied as a technique or intervention in a narrow sense, but approached as a relational experiential field 🌱. This field can support presence, affect regulation, and experiences of connection and belonging. The session integrates bodily, emotional, and cognitive dimensions of experience, reflecting a biopsychosocial and experiential orientation.
Target group and contextualization
This format is particularly suited for professionals and interested participants seeking a mindful, low-threshold, and human-centered exploration of experience- and nature-based processes. It may be used as a stand-alone self-experience session or as a complementary element within ENBI-related training and continuing education programs.
🪶 Optional Certificate: Participants who submit a brief reflection following the session will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Los paisajes naturales no solo se contemplan: se sienten, se recuerdan y nos transforman.
Montañas, bosques, ríos y desiertos actúan como espejos silenciosos que despiertan memorias profundas, regulan nuestro sistema emocional y abren espacios de sentido donde la palabra a veces no alcanza.
En esta sesión exploraremos cómo la naturaleza evoca, sostiene y acompaña procesos terapéuticos y de crecimiento personal. Aprenderemos a reconocer los efectos sanadores del entorno natural y a integrar la aventura como experiencia significativa, capaz de favorecer la presencia, la conexión y la resiliencia.
Esta formación está dirigida a personas con curiosidad genuina, sensibilidad y deseo de aprender cómo la relación con la naturaleza puede convertirse en un recurso terapéutico vivo, ético y profundamente humano. Un espacio para detenernos, mirar con otros ojos y recordar que también somos paisaje.
🪶 Certificado opcional: Los participantes que envíen una breve reflexión tras la sesión recibirán un certificado de finalización.

Echoes of Nature: Reflecting on Embodied Memories
Your body remembers what your mind forgets. 🌿
In this 2-hour online journey with Sage Borgmästars (Finland), explore how embodied memories from nature shape your confidence, joy, and presence as a practitioner.

As practitioners of outdoor and nature-based therapeutic modalities, what we bring to the table truly matters. Our presence and facilitation are shaped not only by cognitive insights but also by the lived memories woven into our bodies. These embodied memories influence how we connect, respond, and create safety in the natural world.
Grounded in Sondra Fraleigh’s Ecosomatics and informed by decades of ecoliteracy and outdoor practice, this workshop offers a reflective space to explore the wisdom held in your body—the subtle echoes of your own experiences in nature.
Through a blend of short presentations and guided somatic prompts, you will be invited to:
🌱 Revisit formative nature experiences that have shaped your confidence and joy outdoors
🌿 Reflect on what may still need to be integrated or metabolized
🌾 Recognize how embodied memories may surface in your role as a guide, facilitator, or therapist
This 2-hour session blends theory, reflection, and gentle experiential practice—creating a safe and spacious container to deepen your self-awareness as a practitioner.
🪶 Optional Certificate: Participants who submit a brief reflection following the session will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Participants and trainers
share their thoughts
“In my experiential and nature therapy work with children and young people in a youth welfare facility in the Netherlands, I experience every day how young people open up in nature – how they gain confidence, show their true nature and grow beyond themselves. It’s touching to see how much strength, creativity and vitality they have.”
“When people meet in nature – away from everyday roles, in the open air – there is often space for real togetherness. I am particularly touched by working with patchwork families and couples when they are allowed to rediscover themselves in nature. As a trainer at ATI, I love teaching in very different places – every forest, every landscape speaks its own language and weaves itself into the learning process.”
“As part of the 2025 graduating class, I never imagined I would grow beyond myself in this way and proudly graduate as a certified Clinical Adventure & Nature Therapist (Level 3).
Throughout this journey, nature has been more than a setting – it has been a mirror, a companion, and a powerful source of reflection and transformation.
I’m excited to see where this path leads me – into the world, into nature, and further into myself.”
