Many people choose to go into nature to nourish and resource themselves. Whether its unwinding by walking the dog, or spending a few minutes watching a sunset, nature can help us to step out of our everyday selves and into a calmer more regulated state. We slow down, open our awareness and reconnect to our inner resources. 

When we reconnect, we create space to explore our inner world, and at a level where real change is possible.

In addition to this, being in nature can be a rich source of creativity. The natural world was not created by human minds, and this makes it a powerful place for us to be. Sometimes it can seem like nature is offering ‘invitations’: Signs and symbols are everywhere in nature- if you are the type of person that wants to explore in that way. We are actually part of nature, and nature can reflect us back to ourselves.

Being outside can also challenge us in different ways, and I am happy to be your support and guide in welcoming the parts of you that feel the challenges, whatever they are for you.  This can be an important part of the ecotherapy journey, and lead to a greater sense of connection to yourself and the world around you. Sometimes there are ‘distractions’- such as the weather, kids playing, dogs barking, or other people in the vicinity. These are usually easier to navigate than one might expect, and often they can elicit an internal response which creates new awareness and inspires an important new direction. 

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about working outside, or any aspect of what I offer. We can arrange an initial phone/video call chat if that feels helpful.
