Ecotherapeutic workshops are designed to be experiential and reflective. We keep our groups small and friendly, so if you have not attended a self development workshop before, don’t worry, you can be assured of a warm welcome.
During the summer months our workshops are held outside, and during the winter we use small independent venues throughout the UK. We support ethical, sustainable tourism, and only use venues that are environmentally responsible.
The cost of each course / workshop will vary depending on the venue and duration. If there is a particular course or workshop you are interested in, please contact us for scheduled dates, cost and a booking form.

A Question of Balance
In today’s society women have more choices, but has this led to a ‘have it all’ culture that is causing stress and anxiety?
In this one day thought provoking workshop you will be encouraged to consider value, and how you measure your success and the success of others. Where do these beliefs come from and how do they fit with your concept of happiness? Are these beliefs helping or hindering in your pursuit of a fulfilling life?
We begin to question the idea of a slower, simpler way of living. A way of living that is closer to nature. What might it be like to reconnect in this way? Is it really possible to shed our materialistic lifestyles in return for a less conventional life that is outwardly simple but inwardly rich?
This workshop will help you to reevaluate what is important in your life. It is also a chance to invite in a more balanced and less stressful lifestyle resulting in a healthier mind and body.
We will be using Art and Drama, as well as group discussion and experiential exercises.
The Natural Connection
When we consider our relationships we often think of our partners, family, friends or colleagues, but what about the wider picture?
In this workshop we explore the concept that all living things are connected. The universal constellation.
You are invited to explore this concept further as we take you on a journey to reconnect to the natural world using art, drama and storytelling.
We use guided meditation to call on the power of nature, for strength and for healing. You will be taught how to use this technique in your daily life to help ground you and keep you connected to this strong universal source.
Therapeutic Drumming
Drumming is an excellent way to promote healing and self-expression. From the shamans of Mongolia to the Minianka healers of West Africa, therapeutic rhythm techniques have been used for thousands of years to create and maintain physical, mental, and spiritual health.
In this one day feel good workshop we will come together to feel the beat of the drum and the rhythm of the heart. Drumming as a group, empowering each other and of course, having lots of fun!
This is a feel good workshop that will leave you feeling energised and invigorated.
Ladies Bush Craft and Orienteering Weekend
At Ecotheraputic we believe that nature is a powerful healer. We also believe that there is no better way to experience nature than to get out there and live it.
In this empowering weekend you will learn valuable survival techniques while living out in the open, including making fire, shelter building, and nature awareness.
All of the above are exceptionally useful skills, but not only that, you will begin to feel more confident in your ability to survive. This can be a wonderfully empowering feeling, especially for women, and it can have a positive ripple effect throughout every aspect of life.
Confidence for Girls
“Two great things you can give your children: one is roots, the other is wings.” - Hodding Carter
Research findings suggest that positive, confident children are more likely to be happier, more sociable, independent and academically successful.
This one-day workshop is primarily aimed at girl’s aged 10-12 who would benefit from building self-esteem and confidence. This workshop can be particularly beneficial for girls who are about to move from primary to secondary school.
This is a fun workshop with art and drama based activities that can help your little lady to:- Think positive and adopt a healthy self-image
- Focus on strengths not weaknesses
- Eliminate limiting beliefs
- Understand the importance of positive body language
- Be assertive and deal with bullies, and peer pressure
- Put strategies in place to deal with stress
We also run this workshop for women and older girls throughout the year at £55 per person.
Annual Ecotherapeutic Retreat
Our weekend retreat only happens once a year in May and we make it a really special event.
We include all the things you would expect from Ecotherapeutic. A beautiful, eco-friendly venue, wonderful organic food, fresh air and relaxation.
You will have the chance to join in some drumming, enjoy a personal development workshop, take in some views on a gentle walk, or maybe just take time to be with yourself for a while.
We also include an evening of therapeutic dance for your enjoyment, a great chance to express yourself through a powerful expressive art form.
