WHAT IS “FOREST COACHING”?
Forest Coaching®: a new way of coaching groups in connection with body and Nature, particularly with the Trees and the Forest.
In a Forest Coaching® experience, the coach facilitates states of deep connectedness to Nature through contemplative practices, embodiment, deep listening experiences, mindfulness, somatic and ecosomatic activation and the study of the Archetypes and Simbolody of the Tree, the Forest and the Garden.
Trees are a trans-cultural symbol of personal achievement, connecting Earth and Sky, the fertile darkness of our roots with the elevation of the foliage that seeks the Sun. According to Jung, in this axis the full expression of our individual uniqueness is played out in harmony and synergy with the relational context of which the forest becomes a model.
In Forest Coaching®, ecosomatic coaching merges with Forest Medicine and Forest Bathing (aka Shinrin-Yoku, of Japanese origin), ecopsychology and neuroscience, facilitating the dialogue between inner and outer landscape.
ORIENTATION AND GROWTH
The Trees and the Forest provide a living model of centering, alignment, orientation, growth and community.
By intentionally reconnecting with them, we realign our inner compass with an ancestral intelligence that makes us find clarity, confidence and wisdom to orient our next steps in life.
ECOLOGICAL FRIENDSHIP
By learning how to deeply connect with Nature, we foster a sense of oneness with the natural world, fostering a vivid sense of interconnection with it, a wider sense of belonging, love, awe and grartitude. We start to see the various aspects of Nature as friends, and family. And this makes us whole – and happy.
Archetypes and symbols
The Forest Coaching® journey is a unique course that blends group coaching, with ecosomatics (nature-connected embodiment), ecopsychology, biomimicr, archetypal and symbological studies, to capture the essence of a deeper realtionship with Plants and Trees, teachers and mentors of a balanced way to live on this beautifu planet.
“Body” is an all-encompassing term by which we define what it means to be human.
“Earth” is the word we use to refer to all the different aspects of our planet. The body is an aspect of the earth.
“Place” is that specific part of the earth that we experience directly through the body.

By reawakening one’s connection to body and Nature, Nature itself becomes a co-coach of the session, facilitating a sense of clarity and alignment with our organic knowing – that knowing that belongs to our bodies, in a direct continuity with Nature’s intelligence.
By awakening the felt sense of belonging to the natural world, we awaken at the same time the natural desire for care and respect for its intelligence and infinite beauty. The sense of wonder and amazement at the solutions and intelligence that animate Nature make us realign with the values of life and the forces that support it, finding the source within us.
In this way we give strong roots to a new ecological lifestyle: respectful of our most authentic personal nature, and also capable of safeguarding the well-being of nature around us.
This is the ultimate goal of forest coaching and nature coaching: well-being for the people and for the planet.
