The Sport-Marathon Park recreation center is looking for a Forest Therapist to help guests slow down, shed urban stress, and reconnect with nature.
Sport-Marathon Park is a space for those who love nature in all its manifestations. The park is located on one of the widest sections of the Volga River - Lake Vselug. The territory is surrounded by bays, pine and birch groves, forest paths, and absolute silence.
If you believe in the healing power of the forest and can manage group dynamics through sensory perception, you will be welcomed to the team.
What you will be doing:
- Conducting forest therapy sessions: leisurely walks along forest routes with mindfulness practices (meditation, breathing exercises, sensory tuning)
- Creating an atmosphere: helping guests shift their attention from thoughts to sensations (forest scents, tactile contact with trees, sounds of water)
- Adapting the practice: conducting both group and individual sessions for guests with different levels of preparation
- Integrating knowledge: combining elements of ecotherapy with interesting facts about the forest ecosystem
Candidate expectations:
- Specialized education or training: in psychology, coaching, rehabilitation, or a forest bathing guide certificate
- Empathy and listening skills
- Understanding the physiological and psychological impact of the natural environment on humans
- Ability to work with a group while maintaining a calm and safe atmosphere
Conditions:
- Flexibility: seasonal work (from 1 month) or permanent employment
- Resource base: access to the purest locations of the Upper Volga region, ideal for silence practices
- Care: accommodation in comfortable conditions and quality meals
- Audience: the opportunity to work with mindful guests who appreciate quality recreation
