About this event

Many of us found solace in the natural world during the past year. This introductory session offers a variety of ways to deepen this budding relationship, and explore how nature can resource our mental and physical health.

A gentle, playful, creative session using guided meditation, sensory exploration exercises, and a sit spot experience either in your garden, at a window or in your imagination if you've not got access to outdoor space.

This is a free introductory session offered as part of the Oldham Library Healthy New Year Festival 2021. Places are exclusively for Oldham residents.

Connecting first with ourselves, coming out of our heads, into our body, and into reciprocal relationship with the natural space around us.

Please see my website for further information on my approach and other sessions I offer including community support groups, deeper dives, self care sessions and one to one nature-based art therapy.

Kim Harrison

I am a heart-centred nature-based therapist, facilitator, and artist. I have a wealth of experience with children aged 2-18 in schools, community, and charity settings, including 6 years supporting autistic children. I also volunteered as an art therapist with adult refugees and asylum seekers for a year. My approach is rooted in my love of the animate earth and our interconnectedness with all beings.

My deepest desire is to facilitate connection at a heart level within ourselves, with eachother and the natural world. The aim of which is countering and healing the predominantly separatist, individualistic, isolating patterns prevalent in modern society. I believe this separation is at the root of many current global issues, the biggest of all being the climate emergency. Dangerous misconceptions that we can plunder resources without impact to ourselves and other species, that there is an 'away' where we can throw waste, that we are not fundamentally dependent on a livable earth for our very survival. Thus my drive to heal this rift is strongly linked to my passion for environmental issues.
