Type of Retreat: Training

Facilitators: Caroline Brazier, Stephen McCabe

Join Tariki Trust for three days of ecotherapy training in the woods. If you are interested in connecting others with Nature professionally, whether you are a counsellor, holistic therapist, artist or community worker, you are invited to join us for three nights of wild camping in Abbey Wood, our woodland retreat in the Scottish Borders.

During the long weekend (Friday evening to Monday morning) we will explore simple, powerful tools for connecting others with nature, such as guiding meditations and silent walks, offering group activities and working one-to-one. Everyone will be given a chance to try their own nature-connection activities with other participants. All methods are designed to support other people’s wellbeing and mental health.

You can secure a place on this retreat by paying a £50 deposit to Tariki Trust. Please email stephen@naturetherapyonline.net to receive an invoice and to secure your place. The outstanding balance will be payable a month before the retreat begins. Alternatively, you can book and pay in full via Eventbrite now.

Type of Retreat: Wellbeing (not part of our ecotherapy training programme)

Facilitators: Stephen McCabe, Sally Ryan

Green Tarot Retreat is an immersive opportunity to find our wildness whilst exploring the connections between Tarot and Nature. As an intimate group living beneath the trees, we will explore the archetypes of the Tarot, how they relate to our lives, and how they interact with the elements of Nature. We will work with synchronicity whilst offering ourselves some much needed relaxation, tending to our wellbeing and resourcing ourselves around an open camp fire. We will work creatively in groups, embodying the characters and energies of the Tarot, whilst getting our hands dirty in the soil. We will use the cards as prompts for writing, journaling or art, all beneath the trees …
