What is nature therapy?
Nature based therapy, also referred to as ecotherapy, is the practice of being in nature to boost mental health.
Being in natural environments is a powerful way to reduce stress and change troubling thoughts.
The fresh air, space and contact with nature helps to clarify thoughts and find solutions.
🌿 Join us 🌿
Our wild well being sessions are for adults only, giving you the chance to reflect, relax and reconnect with nature.
Our sessions are led by Nicky who is a ‘Woodcraft for Wellbeing’ practitioner. She will begin with a guided nature meditation to help you to feel connected to your surroundings and to relax.
We offer an art based activity in all of our well being sessions. Studies have shown that most people who try art as a form of therapy or stress relief have experienced significant reductions in their cortisol levels when doing so. All materials are provided for you.
You can also learn some bushcraft skills such as whittling, foraging, fire lighting and campfire cooking.
Each session includes a light meal cooked on the campfire with unlimited hot drinks. And plenty of biscuits!

Who will I meet?
We want everyone to feel nurtured, happy and relaxed. Our sessions will help you to connect with nature but also to connect with other like minded people in our beautiful setting .
We also welcome groups of friends who crave some time together and want to try something new. We can work with you to tailor an art based session. Get in touch to find out more!
