feedback from participants ….

“Although I am primarily a visual artist, being part of this year-long course has really given me confidence to understand that a lot of what I do already is a form of nature connection practice. I now feel ready to offer time outdoors with other as a much more central element of my practice. Indeed, starting this month, I am offering a series of creative well-being days centred in nature, which I’m very excited about.”

“It has made me appreciate more me time in nature & how valuable this is on a regular basis. It has also taught me to keep the experience simple… That simply offering a space, without too many activities or filling up, can be just as necessary than offering time with lots of engaging content”

“If I could only choose a single word for the one to one coaching session it is ‘magical’. We got straight to the heart of what I needed to explore. Emma was really open to diving in deep. I came away with a really clear sense of how I want to be as a leader.”
