I'm really excited to be bringing you my next 4 week long nature experience ... cultivating connection and compassion.

• Designed to awaken the senses, with a deep focus on each sense, using forest bathing, mindfulness and compassion practices, art, poetry and words, we will explore a sense of belonging and our reciprocal relationship with nature.
• Giving you a greater sense of connection, practices and rhythms from our natural selves as our human bodies and nervous systems were designed to operate.
• Improving a sense of concentration, sleep quality, helping relieve anxiety and wondering thoughts, reducing stress, boosting the immune system and general wellbeing.
• Develop tools, habits and routines that support you, develop resilience and self compassion all whilst learning from nature.

It's been a while since I've update my blog, I confess to not really using it and instead using Instagram and Facebook for updates. However I wanted to pop on here and update you on the measures I am taking in order to support participants to feel safe on sessions during the Covid-19 Pandemic. 
Whilst all sessions are outdoors and therefore relatively easy to maintain social distancing guidelines it is important that as a guide I stay up to date with current advice, and do my best to let you know what things will look like. 
- For now all group sessions will have no more than 5 participants, with me guiding that makes a maximum of 6 people at an event.
- I will include in my introduction a health & safety talk that sets out social distancing of 2m between every one, ensuring we all know what that looks like.
- We will agree a simple safe signal we can all use to signal if we need more space, although being outside it is easy just to take a step back and take space, but that said it is important we agree a common language to handle any  worries at the beginning of the session. 
- I'll also carry hand sanitiser with me at all times should anyone require it.
- Invitations and exercises will all be solo activities, no pair or partner work.
- The final tea ceremony will also be simplified, with clients asked to bring their own cups should they wish to participate.
- We won't be sharing any equipment, and all activities will remain optional and therefore clients can judge their own comfort levels and choices too. 
- I'm also offering private group and one-to-one sessions if that feels more suitable to you.
- I've updated my risk assessments, and ensured to have studied the latest Covid Awareness Course as advised for Holistic Therapists and Practitioners. I'll endeavour to keep up to date with latest guidelines and measures to be taken.
- You are very welcome to message me with any questions or queries regarding the above or any other concerns.
