Course Structure:

  • Day One and Two:
    • Experience the EcoSensory Model of Practice in person, immersing yourself in its core elements: Ground, Connect, Rhythm, Discover, Attend, Create, Nourish & Reflect.
    • Our EcoSensory Therapy Trainers will guide you through the process, providing a Practitioner’s Guide and Workbook that includes essential tools like Clinical Formulation Templates, Assessment Tools, Session Planning Worksheets, Session Review Worksheets, Risk Assessment Proformas, and more.
  • Day Three:
    • This day focuses on your practice. Working in small groups, you’ll use the EcoSensory Model to assess and plan a session based on a case study that’s meaningful to you.
    • You’ll conduct mini EcoSensory sessions, taking the lead and practising elements and activities that you’ve assessed as beneficial for your chosen client or group.
    • This is your opportunity to experiment, learn by doing, and grow from the shared knowledge of your peers.

We’ll conclude the weekend by ensuring you have clear directions and actionable steps to advance your EcoSensory practice.
