more-than-human world

Media and publicity for Forest Therapy guides.

Journalists are looking for stories, and Forest Therapy is a good one. But most guides never make it easy for them to find it. This course walks through the whole arc, from understanding what the media actually wants to sitting down for the interview with something clear to say.

Who it's for

This course is for Forest Therapy guides who want more people to know their work exists.
It is especially for guides who want:
– to fill walks without relying only on social media
– language for their work that makes sense to people outside the field
– to be treated as a local expert rather than a curiosity
– a repeatable process instead of hoping for a lucky mention
– to feel steady when a reporter, podcaster, or camera finally does call

What you'll experience

Seven chapters, taken at whatever pace serves you, each with short videos, hands-on explorations, and sit spot prompts for reflection. You’ll work through: – how the media works, what journalists need, and how to be easy to work with – building and tracking a media list suited to your practice and audience – positioning — your stories, your key messages, your bio, your way of guiding – crafting pitches, hooks, soundbites, and press releases – sending the pitch, understanding lead times, and following up – building a digital media room so your work is easy to feature – interviews for print, podcast, radio, and TV, including how to bridge back, handle surprises, and open well You’ll finish with materials you can actually send. Not notes about materials you might one day make.

What makes this different

This is not a standard forest bathing retreat, and it is not a workshop in cross-species communication. It is something more specific. Council of Waters and Trees rests on a particular combination — the relational practices of forest therapy, the heart as an organ of perception capable of receiving from the imaginal world, and the channel through which we exchange understanding across species. These three threads together are what make the practice possible. Each one alone is something. Held together, they become a way of restoring relationships — between humans, and between humans and the wider community of beings we live alongside.
We hold this work with care. The practice is real; the relationships you enter into are real; and the changes that follow are often real in ways you don’t yet expect. You come not to study the idea but to live it.

Why join us

Most publicity training is written for businesses, and Forest Therapy guides have to translate it before they can use it. This course was built for the field. Nadine Mazzola brings a background in business and marketing alongside ten years of guiding and training, and she has been on the other side of the interview — featured on PBS Windows to the Wild, ABC’s Chronicle, and in the Boston Globe and Boston Magazine. The course also keeps sit spot reflection woven throughout, so the inner work of claiming your expertise gets as much attention as the outer work of pitching.
