Are you open to connecting with nature more, but face barriers in doing so? These obstacles could be things like:

• Not knowing places to go or feeling unconfident about whether you have the skills or knowledge for being in nature
• Feeling like you don’t belong or that nature is not for you
• Worries about getting to unfamiliar places or feeling unsafe there
• Accessibility needs, physical or mental
• Anxiety about weather, mud, bugs, dogs or anything else the outdoors might bring

Over 6 weeks as a group we will explore and develop creative solutions to overcome barriers we face to connecting with nature, as well as using our senses and emotions to develop increased appreciation for nature and its benefits.

We hope that as a result of attending this course you will feel more comfortable in accessing nature and finding meaning and enjoyment in it.

Each week we will participate in a range of nature-based activities, starting inside and gradually building up to spending more time outdoors. This allows everyone to increase their connection with nature at a gentle pace.
