Learning That Goes Beyond the Classroom.
Nature Based Therapy is more than simply taking therapy outdoors. It is about understanding nature as a teacher, a therapeutic partner and an important part of human health and wellbeing.
Through the Academy, you’ll explore practical ways to strengthen connection with self, community, and nature, while developing knowledge and skills that can be integrated into both professional practice and everyday life.
Our learning experiences invite you to slow down, notice, reflect and reconnect, while building practical skills you can carry forward into your work and life.
The Academy is the learning home of Nature Based Therapy® by Kit Kline. To discover more about the wider approach, philosophy, resources and work of Nature Based Therapy, visit the main website.

A Different Way of Thinking About Wellbeing
At the heart of the Academy is a simple belief: Human wellbeing does not exist separately from the world around us.
Our health is influenced by our relationships, environments, communities, daily rhythms, sense of meaning and connection with the natural world.
Nature Based Therapy® brings these pieces together, encouraging us to look beyond symptoms and consider the whole person within the ecosystem of their life.
It is an approach grounded in connection, curiosity and the possibility of growing the person — not simply working with the problem.
