The Mindful Ecotherapy Center, LLC has been providing continuing education in mindfulness and ecotherapy since 2007. During all of that time, students of Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy have continually expressed a desire for an organization that specifically caters to the educational needs of counselors and therapists who practice Mindful Ecotherapy.

With these needs in mind, the Mindful Ecotherapy Center, LLC will be creating a new, more extensive certification in Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy. This new certification will train and certify counselors and therapists specifically in Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy. Ideally this new certification process would be overseen by a new MBEO Board of Directors.

This will be a more intensive certification process than the current one, including up-to-date training in the latest techniques, research, and education in Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy.

Certification will require renewal every three years, and will have a continuing education requirement during each renewal period, so that MBE practitioners are up-to-date on the latest techniques and interventions. It will also require case presentations and supervision for certification.

Trainees who complete the new training would be certified Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapists (MBE) and will have the right to use the designation “MBE” in their credentials. The MBEO Board of Directors will establish and govern guidelines for this process.

The current Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Facilitator Certification course will be replaced in 2025 with the new standards. In autumn of 2024 we will introduce the new Ecospirituality Program, which will replace the current Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy 12-week facilitator certification program.

The Mindful Ecotherapy Center, LLC is now opening a dialog with interested parties who would like to serve on the MBE Certification Board or otherwise help in making this long-awaited vision a reality.
