Learning the key component and structure to created a connected mindful nature experience is the core curriculum.   You can take the course at your own pace, and enjoy every delicious moment of learning and experience in your own timing.  You will be  part of the Enchanted Living Forest Therapy community of practitioners and students, and have that opportunity to connect with your peers and LuAnn on  questions, ah-ha's and achievements to be celebrated!   And, you will save money, and save on travel costs.
