The Mindful Tourist offers vocational support as part of our Shinrin Yoku training, in The Mindful Business module of our Level 1 training.
This support is apparently not a must-have for any training course, however, it is the one criterion that sets us apart from other institutions. And, if making a living out of what you love and being able to get a return on your training is what you aspire to do, then this is pivotal.
From our experience, we have come to know far too many Forest Bathing practitioners who have no clue how to take their training forward and start a business. They are left with a certificate and, perhaps, a handbook book, but are unable to turn their passion into a vocation. We spoke to a certified practitioner in Serbia who mentioned “Shinrin Yoku is more of a hobby, as it is a new thing in not only Serbia, but on Balkan peninsula.”
While we see “newness” as an opportunity to have a first-mover advantage which can help one gain a competitive advantage by being the first to market Shinrin Yoku in the region, an undeveloped entrepreneurial mindset may see this as an obstacle and is hindered by the idea of going into the unknown territory. Sadly, this is very common.
With the right education and training, you can be guided and inspired to take the leap of faith which will open doors to endless possibilities.
