Is the outdoors key to your resiliences? Do you feel called to nature? Does nature hold you in times of pain or hardship?
What would it feel like to share your unique and powerful nature connection with others, in a safe creative space?
Come together with likeminded souls, learn creative techniques for deepening your nature-connection, share ideas, inspiration, resources and anything else that helps you feel connected to the outdoors.
I’ll be inviting guests to join me in leading some of the sessions, to bring a free new perspective and creative flow.

10am - 12pm UK time

Are you looking for the next step in deepening your relationship with yourself? Would you like to understand better where your emotions come from and why they feel the way they do?
If so, this creative series is for you. Can you remember when you last felt true peace, connection and safety?
This series looks at what feeling at home within ourselves means to each of us. Originally a 4-part series, I've evolved it into a more accessible 2-part course.
We'll use explorative art making to strengthen our unique mind-body connection, and practice techniques to soothe our nervous systems when we're feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

Rooting
Week 1

Listening
Week 2
In order to hear the songs of the earth, we must first be able to listen to the subtle whispers within ourselves.
What happens within us when we visit our place? Our bodies are giving us information about our environment all the time. When we tune into tuning into these subtle signals, we can begin to listen the signals of the earth. In this session we’ll explore our inner landscapes and make art in response to how we feel in our place.

Connecting
Week 3
What if the earth could speak? What would it say?
If the earth could speak, what would it sound like? In this session we’ll use our human language to give our place a voice. We’ll experiment with the power of words, and also learn how to use them playfully, embracing our imaginations and allowing the messages of our place to speak through us.

Acting
Week 4
How can we develop a sustainable practice of connecting with the land?
How might we develop a regular practice of tending to the places we visit? How can we continue to nourish our sense of belonging in this world, when we are separated from nature in so many ways? In this final session we’ll explore these questions as a group. We’ll each create an agreement to support us to continue building our relationship to the land.

We are not static objects. We are human-animals. We are interconnected systems. We are living processes, constantly in flux.

This series is designed to be flexible, join one or join them all, the choice is yours! I’ll be weaving parts of series I into these sessions, to continue to explore the impact art making can have on our nervous systems and wellbeing.
Sessions take place weekly and provide an accessible space for you regularly show up for yourself and your creative practice. I hope to build a small community of people interested in this unique combination of nervous system work and art making.
