Bringing Nature Connection into Outdoor Leadership

As an outdoor leader, you know the power of nature to inspire awe and wonder. If you've been looking for ways to create deeper, more immersive experiences for your clients, this CPD course is designed for you. This highly specialised training gives you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to integrate accessible, evidence-based nature connection activities into your professional practice. You’ll benefit from:

💚 Hands-on learning: You'll spend time in and with nature, trying out activities and sharing insights.

💚 An evidence-based framework: The course is rooted in the Five Pathways Model developed by Prof Miles Richardson at Derby University, giving you a validated framework to work with.

💚 Practical takeaways: You'll leave with knowledge and techniques tailored to your work, including the full theory slide deck, an activity guide, ready-to-use grounding scripts, and a set of sensory immersion prompts.

Previous participants have praised the course for its blend of theory and practical, hands-on activities which they’ve been able to apply right away. Sign up today to deepen your own and your clients connection with nature, and find fresh inspiration for your work!

This course confers 1 CPD credit for members of the Mountain Training Association (MTA), Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) and BAIML (Peripheral). All outdoor leaders are welcome on this course!
