FOR GROUPS
I am a trained NatureWell facilitator, an evidence based, integrated nature & health programme working with the 5 Pathways to Nature Connection developed by Natural Academy and Derby University.
The NatureWell approach encourages participants to cultivate a deeper connection with nature for their holistic health and wellbeing, fostering feelings of relaxation, revitalisation and restoration. The programme supports participants to grow their relationship with nature through The 5 Pathways to Nature Connection:
Contact – The art of engaging with nature through the senses for relaxation and restoration e.g. listening to birdsong, smelling flowers, watching the sunset.
Beauty – Engagement with the aesthetic qualities of nature, e.g. appreciating natural scenery or participating with nature through the arts.
Meaning – Working with the language of symbolism and metaphor to give shape to our experiences in nature on a personal and collective level.
Emotion – Exploring our emotional bond with, and love for nature and cultivating spaces to reflect on our feelings for nature.
Compassion – Extending the self to include all of nature, leading to a widening sense of our personal and collective response-abilities.
NatureWell approach - Natural Academy
The NatureWell programme can be tailored towards organisations, teams and communities wishing to bring more nature-connection into their working and social environments. The sessions can also be deisgned for groups with specific health and social care needs.
NatureWell can be delivered as a 3 day programme (10am-3pm) or as a 6 week programme (3 hour sessions per week)
