Ecosystems of the Mind: Building a Better Story

Story Quest Walks

Linking Nature to Narrative to Magnify the Power of Each

This follow up to our popular Nature Immersion Walks course continues the application of the power of nature to help clients center themselves while using metaphor, narrative, exploring the power of words and compelling quotes to unlock creativity and expression.

In this second course, participants will learn the skills of applying the use of powerful questions, unraveling shadow stories, understanding the effectiveness and sensitivities of indigenous metaphors, applying nature-inspired ritual creation to unlock meaning making, and much more. All while applying the transformational application of nature in coaching learned in the first course.

Coaching in nature will expand your capacity to encourage inspiration for transformative creative expression, while sharing the very real health benefits of interacting with nature.

And in these days where office visits can be a challenge to social distancing standards, face to (covered) face sessions in the outdoors can enhance a client-coach working relationship.

Advance your skills to generate transformative coaching sessions in nature with this breakthrough series by making Nature your partner in serving your clients best.
