      ab: While the role of the natural environment is considered integral to the therapeutic process in Adventure therapy (AT), facilitators often only passively view it as a backdrop rather than intentionally using it as a co-facilitator of change. In this article, we propose a framework – AT-EcoWellness Framework – integrating EcoWellness with AT concepts that facilitators employ to intentionally use nature in the process of planning and facilitating AT groups. We illustrate the AT-EcoWellness Framework through a planning guide and case example of a recent program.
