What Clinicians Are Saying
“This is the first training where I actually learned something.”
B., City to Forest: ACT in Nature
“Moire has a knack for creating a rich learning experience. She provides her training with an ease of instruction and environment that encourages discussion and questions. [...] She created a two day training event in the city that felt more like a retreat, bringing all participants in person or online, into a safe space of connection.”
S.D., ACT in Nature Hybrid Training
“I travelled from Minnesota to attend this retreat and it exceeded my expectations. Gorgeous setting, well-organized presentation, Moire is a great teacher, she included tons of useful information, fostered a supportive environment, and created an all-around memorable experience. Well worth the trip and I would do it again in a heartbeat!”
S.T., ACT in Nature Retreat
“Moire Stevenson offers a practical and valuable training that effectively pairs mental health with nature. I strongly recommend this training for practitioners looking to equip their patients with easily accessible tools to improve their well-being. Learning to integrate ACT in an outdoor setting has been a game-changer.”
