Training as a nature-based coach (aztm)
What is this all about and for whom is this training useful?
Nowhere else can we get closer to our own nature than out there in nature. Nowhere are we more relaxed, calmer and clearer. Nowhere else can we recharge our own batteries that way and find deep inner silence and peace. Exactly these are the reasons why we can work right there most effectively on our personal resources, for example to prevent the effects stress, fear and pressure could have on our mind and body.
As a nature-based technique, nature-based coaching combines the psychological and physical benefits of a „natural treatment room“ with classic coaching and resource work. The training is aimed most of all to (prospective) therapists and coaches. In addition to nature-based coaching topics, it also provides the participants with basic psychological knowledge as well as practical exercises. Prior topics of nature-based coaching are stress and anxiety related problems, making own decisions, weather life-crises, improving own creative skills and burnout prevention.
What can I learn?
The training consists of a total of 4 „weekend modules“ (Thursday to Sunday). These are about 108 hours, which are spread over the year from April to September.
The main topics are e.g.:
-
psychological basics and clinical pictures: stress, anxiety and burnout
-
hormones and their effects on the human psyche, emotions and feelings
-
mental hygiene: What you should consider as a therapist.
-
nature-based coaching: introduction, applications and overview

Degree certificate, final paper and examination
The training is based on the standards of the modular training concept of the alternative medical training center (www.aztm.de). Each participant will receive a certificate of completion to the training as nature-based coach (aztm) after having passed the practical examination.
For the successful completion, a final paper as well as a practical examination has to be done to prove the acquired skills at the end of the basic training. The work on the final paper can be started from the 3rd module weekend and has to be finished with the last.
Location and duration
Each of the four training module weekends lasts from thursday to sunday (10am to 6pm). The examination will be a part of the last module (submission of the final paper & practical examination).
The training itself includes about 108 hours, plus self-practice-lessons at home. Also there will be appropriate training opportunities for the participants within the training modules.
The training begins in April and takes place nearby Coburg. Exact dates, as well as further information and registration documents are available on request by e-mail.
Seminars and workshops
What is offered?
In addition to my books, I also offer periodically lectures, seminars and workshops. They are usually about topics playing an important role in my work as a nature-based coach.
My vision is to encourage people to take a closer look especially when concerning their own perception. How I see things has a great influence on how I live, how I feel or what bothers me or even makes me sick. Only those who recognize this, have a real chance to change their lives permanently in a positive way. My events should help to learn more about how to live a self-determined, happy and healthy life.
In a small scale.
All of my events are limited concerning the amount of participants. Small groups up to 7 participants have proven best results in practice. This leeds to a personal and pleasant atmosphere.
Depending on topic, season and weather, small excursions into the forest or surrounding nature are often part of the event. Therefore please pay attention to appropriate information on clothing and footwear in the registration or information form.
Enjoy pure nature: This way please.
The nature experience plays an important role in my life. This is also the reason why I often choose some special and powerful places for my events. E.g. the region of the Franconia Forest and southern Thuringia or the beautiful island of Rügen with its wonderful national parks. Further destinations in the very south of Norway, will follow, starting in 2019.
Readings, offers for companies and associations.
I offer also individual readings, lectures or seminars on request. This service is addressed especially to bookstores, companies and associations.
Just out in the forest
Finding inner peace.
Be honest. When did you feel completely free last time without worrying about work, money, children or everyday problems? When did you feel completely calm, alive and free? Long time ago?
Time to think a little bit more about yourself, saying „I’m off now“. Slow down, recharge your batteries and learn how you can integrate the art of achieving both in your daily routine at home.
This is exactly what’s my intention with these days off. To help you to get back to a natural-connected state which leeds to a more encouraged life with a lot of more energy for all kinds of tasks lying ahead. Have a break to see what mind and body are missing now mostly. Leave old patterns and open up for new things.
I’m looking forward to meet you and I invite you now to have a short break at some wonderful places out there in nature.
