How can we guide you through your learning journey?
All of our training programs are created using our Three Pillar philosophy of Personal Development, Nature Connection and Conservation and Stewardship. These Three Pillars will benefit you as much as you are ready to invest in yourself. And you can also make your contribution to conservation as we donate part of the fee from every training program to support conservation efforts in the Chilcotin Ark! Find out more about the Wilderness Training Academy.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
All of our training programs are a journey towards empowerment. Every course is a lesson in self-responsibility. If you seek to create change, then you must begin with yourself.
NATURE CONNECTION
When you connect to nature you also connect to yourself. The modern world has forgotten how deeply rooted we are to nature. We feel unfulfilled when we are disconnected from nature. Nature is our greatest teacher helping us live more consciously. It increases our awareness and spiritual connection.
CONSERVATION AND STEWARDSHIP
We want to inspire people like you to become stewards of the land. Stewardship is a moral obligation to conserve the environment. This involves personal responsibility and all our actions – whether they are harmful or conserving. That’s why all of our training programs include a conservation and stewardship course. We want to educate you about the importance of conserving the environment.
IS THIS ECOTHERAPY?
WebMD and GoodTherapy define ecotherapy as activities involving nature. These activities can improve physical and mental health, overall mood and even life satisfaction.
Ecotherapy stems from the belief that people have a deep connection with nature, whether they know it or not. Therefore, living in harmony with the environment can be extremely beneficial.
Although we are not licensed ecotherapists, our training programs include accepted ecotherapy activities and techniques, including:
- Nature reflection & meditation (Wilderness Mentor Guide, Wilderness Explorer, Nature Connection, Conservation & Stewardship)
- Conservation (Wilderness Mentor Guide, Wilderness Explorer, Conservation & Stewardship, Wilderness Steward Training Program.)
