different ways of
knowing nature

We are nature-allied facilitators and researchers creating connective experiences that deepen relationships with life.

What We Do

We design and facilitate engaging nature-allied programmes that support transformative learning.

I cannot recommend this workshop enough! Every activity was well thought out and so insightful in opportunities for self reflection. Overall I experienced such a sense of nostalgia, a remembrance of a younger me, being playful in nature and feeling a deep sense of time standing still. I have been amazed at how grounded I have felt in the days to follow, this has been a much needed reminder of the importance of making time more regularly to connect to nature as a way to be more present and better manage my daily life... I look forward to joining more of these workshops in the future!

We offer immersive walks and wilder outings that reawaken a connection with nature.

We curate nature-inspired gatherings that forge deeper relationships.

The return to nature facilitated by this workshop was beautifully and thoughtfully crafted and presented. It felt like a welcoming home and woke a deeper curiosity for what I’ve often overlooked and taken for granted. How I engage with nature on a daily basis has changed, and I draw deep comfort from small observations. Looking forward to the next one!
