Woodland Wellness Programme

Service Description

Join us on a journey to restore, discover and find calm through interacting with the natural world. This programme of nature and personal connection focuses on resourcing us with our innate tools we need to flourish. Restoring the balance between ourselves and the natural world will benefit all life. This is a 6 week course consisting of a regular core group meeting on a weekly basis in a natural setting for 3-4hrs. During the six weeks we will follow the 5 pathways to nature connection, developed through research by the University of Derby which has multiple proven benefits. Strong bonds often develop between the participants and we teach a core routine of nature connection to continue at home so that we positively impact individuals beyond the limit of a programme.
