Joyality for Healing Professionals (J4HP) is a specific cohort run under The Joyality Project

 

This cohort (J4HP) is designed specifically for counselors, therapists, psychologists, social workers, coaches, or facilitators of therapeutic experiences with nature such as adventure therapists, ecopsychologists, wilderness guides, rewilding teachers, environmental educators, etc.  Does that sound like you? Are you seeking training or professional development in these fields?

 

Joyality itself is an innovative and effective toolkit of 36-experiential tools and practices, for you to care for yourself, while also expanding your capacity to support and care for your clients.

 

Professional Development & Self Care

 

As professionals in these fields, we are on the frontlines of the psychological and emotional response to the intersecting crises of our time. In these positions, it is crucial to support and care for ourselves well, and to continue to develop and expand our capacity to respond to these challenges effectively and compassionately. 

 

In our fields of practice there is a need for more resilience and focused energy than ever before. Many of us are in a state of professional overwhelm, that is increasing as the broader crises in the world grow, and we can no longer isolate healing at an individual/family level without including the larger community and planetary context.

 

This special round of the  Joyality Program supports you as a professional to hone your gifts with clarity and focus, to direct your energy to what you care about most, while taking really good care of yourself.

 

It is a personal journey to explore your own identity and values, your vision and fears; strengthen your resilience and resources for emotional regulation and engagement; and deepen your connection and place in the natural world.
