About the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Facilitator Certification Program

This Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Facilitator Certification Program certifies you as a facilitator of the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy 12-week program. 

Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy combines the skills of mindfulness with the healing power of nature.

MBE is used as a framework for helping individuals and families to find deeper connections in their own lives, and to give more meaning and enjoyment to the activities of daily living. By re-integrating ourselves with nature, we are able to tap into nature’s healing power and to heal the earth as we heal ourselves.

The Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Workbook and the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Workshop series were developed by Charlton Hall as a 12-week program to help individuals re-connect with the healing power of nature. The series meets once per week for 90 minutes, usually in an outdoor setting. The first six sessions cover the skills of mindfulness, and the next six sessions cover integrating mindful skills into ecotherapy. The six mindful skills are about “what” to do, and the six ecotherapy skills are about “how” to do it.

The Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Facilitator Manual was updated to the Second Edition in January of 2022. A free pdf copy of the manual is included in the materials for this course. If you would prefer a hard copy you can purchase one by clicking on the link.

Each of the twelve sessions of the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy program covers a distinct skill that builds on previous skills, and provides activities and interventions that can be used in both group and individual therapy sessions.

Since we first began offering the program in 2015, response has been overwhelming, so we began to offer the facilitator training to mental health professionals all over the world. If you are interested in running your own Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy program, this is the course for you!

Once you have gotten feedback from your client, fill out the Case Presentation Form by clicking on this link.

When filling out your case presentation, do not include any identifying information concerning your client. 

When we receive your case presentation, it will be reviewed. There is no additional fee for reviewing your case presentation. There are no hidden fees or additional materials to purchase. The only exception is if you would like paperback copies of the workbook, which may be purchased here.

Upon successful review you will be emailed a Facilitator Certification certificate.

When your case presentation has been approved you will be emailed a Certificate of Completion in pdf format.

Facilitator Certification Program Instructions

This Facilitator Certification Program includes a free pdf copy of the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Workbook. This workbook is used by students of the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy 12-Week Program. You will need the workbook to facilitate the program. The workbook is divided into 12 sessions worth of material plus an overview. The workbook also includes all the worksheets needed to facilitate the program. All of these program materials are included when you purchase the program. 

There are three separate courses included in the certification program. They are:

  1. Mindfulness for Therapists – 10 online/home study hours

  3. Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Program in Clinical Practice – 30 online/home study hours

Each of these courses has a separate Certificate of Completion with the number of hours earned and the title of the course. There is a final exam for each course in the program. You will have three attempts to pass each final exam with a score of 80% or higher. When you have passed each course’s final exam, a certification of completion for that course will be generated for you in pdf format.

“I am a hypnotherapist, sand tray therapist and LCSW working w/military kids in elementary schools. I’m blown away with this course content! I’ll retire to private practice in January. Maybe I could use the information somehow then. I loved it and have recommended it to a few of my therapist peers. Thank you!”
