Growing your Yasei Shinrin Yoku Guide Certification
You can grow your Guide Certification and become a Practitioner which will allow you to deliver our 12 Session Forest Therapy Program. We understand that as a Forest Therapy Guide you are challenged which trying to retain your clients for return visits. Currently the largest segment of Forest Therapy clients are those who become a “one-off client”. It’s this dynamic that has plagued ecotourism and nature-based guiding for decades. At the Wildcraft Forest School we have developed a 12 session Forest Therapy program where clients have a more enhanced opportunity to follow through with nature-based healing with your guidance.
You can now become a Practitioner and we will deduct the Distance Learning Registration Fee that you have paid, which will allow you to enroll in the Practitioner Training Program.
Register now so that we can reserve your space where training programs are offered every month from May to September.
Wild Forest Therapy Winter Tookit
If you have been a past participant in our Guide or Practitioner Programs and you would like to receive “Wild Forest Therapy Winter Tookit” you can register today and begin the program on the 15th of the following month. The winter program will help you to continue your practice during the late autumn and winter months and includes print material, videos and question and answer sessions.
It doesn’t matter how much snow is on the ground, or how long the winter is, your Yasei Shinrin Yoku practice does not have to be put on hold.

Our connection to nature is embedded within our DNA, the forest provides us with all the psychological and chemical attributes needed to live healthy lives – but our challenge is to learn how to reconnect with the living forest. Shinrin Yoku is Japanese for “forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere” this popular Japanese therapy represents a new form of nature-based healing.
Yasei Shinrin Yoku or “Taking in the Wild Forest Atmosphere” considers the expansion of our health, purpose and well-being as being directly related to the work that we do for the benefit of the forest – the practice considers that we and the forest are “one” and that through this presence the true natural balance of energy can be achieved that benefits both the individual and the natural world. If we invest in the health and growth of the forest then the forest will invest in us – the medium of exchange is “life-force”.
Yasei Shinrin Yoku Basic Guide Certification provides participants with an opportunity to set up a basic independent practice and provides support for advancing towards Practitioner Certification which provides skills for delivering a Yasei 12-session program and establishing a Yasei Sanctuary Forest. This learning program provides an understanding of wilderness therapies and forms of wildcrafting-based nutri-ecopsychology. Upon satisfactory completion of this program, participants will receive Yasei Shinrin Yoku Basic Guide Certification, which can assist them in both career and self-employment endeavors especially suited for alternative health services, the spiritual arts, theology, energy work, education, food, nutrition and outdoor recreation.
