Pausing, Resting, Connecting….
A gentle invitation to soften into slowness and quietude
To pause without purpose, to let noise settle, and to feel the weight of your own breath.
Here, nothing is urgent. Nothing is required of you.
The light moves slowly, the air is still and time begins to loosen its grip.
You dont have to chase, prove or create - You can simply be....
Let your thoughts soften at the edges, let your shoulders drop and let the day unfold at its own pace.
Come back to the quiet places within you - They've been waiting.

What Can I Expect from Nature Connection?
Nature connection is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku ( translates to Forest bathing in English). It was formulised in 1982 after recognising an increase in stress related illnesses and cancers.
After a number of research studies Shinrin Yoku was officially recognised as a way of reducing these illnesses and a number of forests were dedicated purely for Shinrin Yoku Practice.
There are now over 60 certified Shinrin Yoku forests in Japan.
The sessions take on average approx. 3 hours, and you will be guided to slow down, ignite your senses and offered a number of invitations that will guide you into connecting more deeply with the natural world and with your own inner world.
These invitations invoke the use of your senses, curiousity and observation skills.
They help you to gently lean into a space of being and presence and leave you with a sense of calmness and peacefulness within and yet a sense of vitality, aliveness and clarity.

Accredited Training
A 6 month hybrid training that offers you a personal journey, knowledge, skills and competencies as well as the confidence to run your own groups and build your own communities.
Training is taken over 6 modules (approx one module per month)
On month 5 we spend alot of time on practising our skills;
You can join us for 5 days in North Lincolnshire in a variety of landscapes for this intensive learning and practise.
Or, if you are unable to attend the in-person intensive; a similar experience will be offered live online over 4 days (2 full weekends)
It is so easy to be caught up in the demands of our modern busy lives, that we miss paying attention to ourselves, our lives and sometimes even our loved ones; as time just disappears and we continue to race.
I personally believe that we all get to a stage within our lives, when ever that is for you - when we feel a discord, a longing for simplicity and ease in our lives .
Choosing to slow down, to be more present. Choosing to be alive in our lives, to witness it and choosing to follow our heart. A necessary element in our lives , that is often overlooked and lost.
This training takes you on a personal journey of deepening your own connection with both our natural world and with yourself as well as providing you with key skills to then guide others through this same journey.

The Science behind Nature Connection
Connecting Within…
How does it feel to just stop and take a pause.
To breathe slowly and then ask yourself how you are?
To listen to the breeze, the rustling of leaves and the song of nature and then when the internal noise lessens, to your own thoughts and needs?
When you show yourself a moment of compassion, of softness; how does that land in your body?
