Q&A

  • The sessions will take place at different parks intentionally to grow our confidence incrementally.

    Week 1: Botanic Gardens
    Week 2: Coney Island
    Week 3: Rifle Range Park
    Week 4: Free Choice - dial in on Google Meet

  • The current course design is such that each session layers on the previous one. You are recommended to commit to all sessions as it will disrupt the learning experience to skip any sessions.

    Participants who have to miss any sessions can only refer to class notes as there will be no replacement sessions. Additional support will be provided to aid in the learning experience in such cases.

    Should you have to drop out of the intake after the first session has started, you will be offered an option to restart the cycle in future intakes at a 50% discount (valid for one cycle only).

  • This program and its content is specially designed to impart necessary knowledge and techniques for self-practice.

    There are a lot more skills and knowledge to acquire to be able to hold safe & therapeutic spaces for others. You are encouraged to explore the ANFT Guide’s Training program if you are keen to take this to the next stage.

    You may instead act as an advocate by inviting friends and family to enjoy a slow and connective time in nature together and share some of the practices with them.

  • All sessions will proceed rain or shine. In this course, we will welcome the rain as a teacher. The encounter with extreme weather will be a great learning point to gain confidence in the outdoors.
