Start planning/saving and come Join us in Ireland for 11th IAANTC in April 2028!

Every three years, practitioners, researchers, educators, and community leaders from around the world gather to explore the transformative potential of adventure and the natural world in therapeutic practice. Rooted in diverse traditions and informed by evolving research, this conference is a space where experience meets evidence, and where the wisdom of land, culture, and community informs our shared work in this ever evolving community.

Each International Adventure and Nature-based Therapies Conference (IAANTC) offers a vital opportunity to pause, reflect, and look forward together. During IAANTC, delegates share emerging research, innovative practices, ethical considerations, and stories from the field. As a collective, we examine how our work responds to global challenges—mental health crises, climate change, social inequity—and consider how adventure and nature-based therapies can contribute to more just, sustainable, and connected communities.
