This is a 3 part series over 3 weeks, each session builds on the last, so participants are kindly requested to commit to all dates (see below). Ticket price is for all 3 sessions.

Unpacking how nature connection can resource us at a much deeper level. Exploring the qualities and gifts offered within natural symbolism, cycles and seasons and the benefits of attuning to and responding to these in our everyday lives.

Throughout our journey we will explore ways to ease stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and generally support your wellbeing.***

It doesn't matter if you can't access outdoor space for the Zoom calls. A window can provide a vista of sky to explore, or you could connect with a favourite potted plant, use your imagination, or let photographs help you access a time in memory when you were in nature.

Kim is a HCPC registered Art Therapist and nature-based mindfulness guide. She has previously worked in primary schools, forest school early years provision, and as a support worker with autistic children.

Session 1: Reflection

Winter is traditionally a time of inner reflection, pause and slowing down, in some ways mirroring our recent global lockdowns. In this session we take time for ourselves, to reflect and to discern what no longer serves us and could be released. What losses need acknowledging individually and collectively?

​Session 2: Presence

Gathering the above, honoring our journey and our present - wherever and however we are. Accepting with love things we cannot change and identifying smaller shifts we can make. What do we wish to retain and bring forward into our present/future? What seeds have we planted and wish to nurture?

Session 3: Unfurling

Preparing to move forward. Creatively visioning the seeds that are unfurling within us and within the wider world. What are our intentions, hopes, dreams and how can nature help us honor and sustain these?

These sessions will be a co-created experiential group journey including:

- Gentle breath-work,

- Sensory awareness meditations,

- Nature connection experiences,

- Storytelling,

- Creative exercises,

- Journaling and sharing in groups/pairs.

There will be invitations to do activities between sessions when on your daily walks or in an outdoor space you can access easily.

***Whilst the hope is that these sessions will in some gentle ways ease stress etc from the perspective of self-help, this is NOT therapy. I do also offer nature-based art therapy. If you are suffering from physical or mental health difficulties this is not a replacement for conventional medical support and medication. Please always see your GP as your first port of call.
