Get The Skills And Confidence

To Work With Your Clients In Nature

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

**Designed to Accommodate Out of Town Students**

Have you ever felt alone and burnt out at the end of a long day of sitting in a room, supporting others?

Or maybe you’ve sometimes felt that being indoors with little movement or fresh air drains your creativity and zest for the little time you have to enjoy life?

How can you replenish yourself and grow your work in a meaningful way

when you are giving all the time?

 

P1010142My name is Dave Talamo.

I got into the field of therapy with a strong desire to help people make lasting, meaningful change in the their lives. But I found the traditional long days of sitting and working in the office with clients for many hours to be limiting and, at times, draining. Can you relate?

I started mentoring in nature and guiding in the wilderness over 40 years ago. When I went to graduate school, it was with the hope of finding ways of combining my deep work with people and time in Nature. As a licensed therapist, I spent many years keeping my passion for the natural world separate from my therapy practice. My clients were coming to me overwhelmed, overworked, drained, anxious and depressed. People would share little side comments like “I feel so great when I go to the beach” or “I love how I feel when I’m able to just go out for a brief walk”.

Although I had many different therapy modalities to help them, I always felt like something was tugging at my heart. I knew there was so much more I could offer, but I wasn’t sure how to bring this all together. I was waiting for permission and professional validation.

Then one day it hit me. I was headed home after a long, full, intense day of client work. My eyes went to the stars twinkling above a ridge. I knew I had to get my clients out on the land. It was time to integrate therapy and my wilderness work.

I’ve made it my mission for over 30 years to create ways to bring the healing power of Nature into people’s lives. I founded Wilderness Reflections and the TerraSoma Ecopsychology Training Institute. Through this powerful work I’ve helped thousands of people.

“I also have even more of an appreciation for nature and the power of this work and ecopsychology in general in a way that is more embedded in my atoms than just in my conceptual mind… I am deeply grateful for the opportunity, for all those who came together to share this experience, for your vision to offer this, and for the really profound life lessons that have emerged. Thank you so much for all that you did to make this such a valuable and blessed experience for me and others.”           Rachelle C, 39, Therapist, Yoga Teacher


 

My goal is to train you to feel free and confident to create your ecotherapy work and practice as you envision it. Rather than teach you to do ecotherapy as I do, I want to empower you to practice ecotherapy in the way that is uniquely yours.

You know deep down if this training is right for you. If you are on the fence, go for a hike. Nature is a powerful mirror. I’m also here answer any questions and completely support you on your path to serve and support others.

Thank you so much for your good work in the world,

Dave

p.s.- Call me if there’s any way I can support you on your path as an ecotherapist.

 


“This work with Dave isn’t just about developing appreciation, comfort, and a deep gratitude for the wilderness – it is a well-crafted process of using the wilderness to create a profoundly meaningful personal transformation.”            Peter Klaphaak, Psychiatrist

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

“What is required to receive your certificate?”

The following are required to complete the certificate program:

  • Full participation in the 8-day immersion, including practice in roles of both therapist and client
  • Attendance at all 8 online video classes (up to 2 may be made up for unavoidable absences)
  • Completion of 2 ecotherapy sessions with our instructors (each 60-75 minutes long)
  • Participation and completion of major homework assignments, readings and engagement with outside-of-class tasks, including conducting at least 1 practice ecotherapy session on your own (can be indoors or outdoors)
  • Completion of Final Paper with vision statement and action plan (2-4 pgs. in length)

 

“I am concerned with taking on this expense. Will it be worth it?”

Following the training provided, including the focus on marketing and support in launching your own ecotherapy work, you will likely earn this investment back within a year.

 

“I can’t afford to pay for it all right now. Can I still enroll?”

Yes. We have a payment plan that spreads payments out over 6 months. Enroll by the early bird discount deadline for significant savings as well.

 

“What if this doesn’t completely work with my schedule”

The program is designed for working clinicians, and to be accessible to non-residents of the SF Bay Area. Residence is required at the 7-day immersion but students may call in for the Tue. evening sessions. If a student has to miss one or more days of the immersion, please contact Dave to discuss how/if it is possible to make these up and still enroll in the program. The Tue. evening meetings will be recorded and can be watched at your leisure after the live meeting if a student should miss one of these meetings.

 

“Are people ready for ecotherapy? I love nature, but is this too outside of the box?”

Ecotherapy is starting to get a lot of attention in the medical and media industries. It is well supported by research as an effective, important modality. A key piece of this training is guiding students to develop their own approach to ecotherapy that is effective and comfortable for them.  To support this personal confidence, the program is limited to 10 participants and teaches students to think critically about their ecotherapy treatment plans.

 

“What about insurance? And what about ethical concerns with ecotherapy?”

Liability and ethics concerns are important topics to which we give ample attention during the course of the certificate program. There are several insurance options that we discuss in detail in the program so that you can find what’s best for you.

 

“What about the weather?”

We have indoor and outdoor meeting sites we can use during the program.  And we will have a thorough exploration of the pros and cons of working indoors vs. outdoors in all kinds of conditions. Every solid ecotherapist needs to have place and plans for handling environmental challenges of all kinds. And changes in weather and conditions can often provide wonderful therapeutic opportunities, in the right context and moment.

 

“I’m concerned about the CO2 emissions I’ll create by traveling to/from the class.”

We’re concerned about this as well. Study locally if you can. And yet we know that ecotherapy isn’t a skill that can be learned entirely online, thru reading, etc. Great stuff can be learned about this topic in that purely didactic, academic way. But our bias is that you need time with people in connection with Nature and that you couldn’t fully learn to be an ecotherapist without this than you could really learn to swim without getting wet! So, for some folks, that may require traveling to a class. For this, we strongly suggest you get some carbon offsets for your CO2 output. One reliable source for this is the Carbon Fund (www.carbonfund.org).

 

“I’m afraid I won’t follow through and make changes in my life/work”

While no one can make you follow through on anything, this program gives a lot of help to students in this regard. Since many therapists aren’t naturally inclined to marketing and self-promotion, we will give this some steady, solid attention in the program PLUS 2 individual consultations with Dave, group consultation, and the ongoing support of your peer cohort.

HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT WORKING WITH DAVE…

“I am embarking on a private practice where I plan to use ecotherapy as a main pillar of my work. I did not know where my ecotherapy journey was going before doing this program, and I’m not sure I ever would have had the confidence or framework to do it at all. The program proved to be the total jumping-off point and “invitation” for me to pursue this exciting new professional interest.                      

– Ari Comart, LCSW

“I gained confidence in myself and I was able to initiate a new direction in my life in the areas of work, my spiritual practice, health (returning to vegetarianism and doing more exercise) and completing my dissertation. The most amazing change is what’s happening at work. All my employees are very motivated to incorporate all the new values we have agreed upon which have to do with promoting spirituality, community living, sustainability and holistic care. We are already witnessing incredible changes with the kids we work with and our team is becoming more united and stronger by the day.”

R. Kane, 34, Therapist

“I continue to be impressed by the profound effects I am experiencing from our work together. The spiritual connection I made with Nature feels grounded in my core and changes the way I contact every part of my life.”

Kate S, 47, Counselor

“If you are feeling the call to recharge and reconnect with nature in a ceremonial context, or you are interested in deepening your practice through somatic ecopsychology, look into Dave Talamo’s work. He embodies a deep integrity and sincerity in his teaching, as does his staff. My quest with him was intensely transformative and I am still reaping the benefits of it many years later.”

Melissa G., MFT

 

“I am different. I am coming from a different place inside myself, more connected spiritually, to something greater than myself. I’ve gotten clear about the work I need to do in the world.”                  – Kate S, 47, Counselor

 

“What a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with the Earth, with the Mother! Thank you for your gentle, clear guidance. I think this is valuable for interns because it calls for a deeper connection to self, gives time for reflection and regeneration—a time for introspection as well as group bonding.”

Maria K, MFT, 58, Clinical Director, Agency Counseling Program

 

“I was really shut down before going -bbboooorrreeedddd with how I was spending my time.  Now I feel like I remember what I love.”

Shana S, 40

 

“The mirroring training was especially valuable.  I began to incorporate it immediately into my work with my students at the college.  It is invaluable in helping the students synthesize their feelings and thoughts.”

Teri G, 54, Professor

 

“Dave was an ideal guide for this kind of work for a number of reasons. His obvious love and passion for the work was an inspiring example for my own. He demonstrated a strong and compassionate commitment to my own growth and exploration through the entire process. I greatly appreciated Dave’s flexibility and resourcefulness in creating an experience which fit my inner and outer needs. He brought a rare combination of wisdom, creativity, soulfullness, and playfulness to the experience. His deep connection to nature and the traditions of nature-spirituality provided a well-spring of knowledge and inspiration in my preparations and during the threshold and reintegration elements.”
