You will attend live instructional classes and 3 forest therapy walks before entering into a mentored 6-week practicum. All classes and walks take place virtually via Zoom.

Join our 7-week Online Training Retreat, a 3.5 day online retreat mirrored after our in-person retreats. You’ll experience comfortably-paced content delivery and guided walks, followed by a 6-week practicum.

During the ‘live meetups,’ you will have the opportunity to join in discussion with our highly qualified instructors and your peers, bringing life to the online course materials. 

You will also experience 3 virtual forest therapy walks during the program—2 instructor-led walks and 1 student-led walk where you will get hands-on practice. 

During the 6-week practicum you'll have access to your instructors via Q&A group mentor calls. You are welcome to join optional weekly meditation and yoga sessions.

Once certified, you’ll receive The Forest Therapy School’s collection of 100 invitations for use on your walks, a resources library of books, articles, websites, films, poetry, research studies, etc. to deepen your knowledge, as well as a fully customizable slide presentation to share with your community to grow your guiding practice.

In addition, you will receive an invitation to join our virtual community of Certified Forest Therapy Guides where you can connect, be inspired, and receive ongoing support.

As an FTS Certified Forest Therapy Guide, you receive lifetime access to our training guidebook, which means as we add to the program, you will have access to all the new training content.
