Description

Modern life is forever moving, unrelenting in its eagerness to push us forward onto the next thing and the next thing, and the thing after that. And so our minds are just as busy. Too infrequently do we stop and enjoy the stillness of a place. Shinrin Yoku (also known as Forest Bathing) brings us back to nature. It takes us out of our busy lives and heals us - reconnecting us with our environments and ourselves. The Shinrin Yoku - Forest Bathing Diploma Course explains the theories, practices, and science behind forest bathing.

What is Shinrin Yoku and how we can use nature as therapy? The Shinrin Yoku - Forest Bathing Diploma Course begins by answering this very question, along with detailing the concept of ecotherapy and instilling an awareness of the power of trees, before moving on to explain the physical and mental benefits of Shinrin Yoku.

With a good theoretical understanding from which to grow, we venture on with some general guidelines to follow when forest bathing. You’ll gain insight on how to use various senses and share what you notice, how to give back to the forest, and ‘invitations’ - an important concept in Shinrin Yoku. You’ll learn how and why trees communicate with each other, and how we can send and receive nature’s messages.

When taking your first steps in Shinrin Yoku, preparation is important. The Shinrin Yoku - Forest Bathing Diploma Course explains how to find a forest bathing site, what to bring with you, and how to have a safe experience.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
