Creative, Wellbeing Sessions in Nature

Creative, Wellbeing Sessions in Nature

I provide outdoor creatve sessions for people wanting to combine art, nature and wellbeing. I work with people who have no artist experience  as well as introducing practicing artists to an outdoor, ecological arts practice. I believe there is an artist in everyone. 

My unique workshops blend my skills as an artist, an eco-therapist and a teacher. I have background in supporting people who are neurodivergent, struggling with mental health and/or physical limitations.

Sessions and workshops involve facilitating a deeper level of connection with nature. I provide guided activities to support people to express this connection playfully by using colours, images, shapes and patterns. I can also teach people about using plant and earth pigment to create ink and paint.

As an English person living in North Wales, I am always looking for ways to bring the language of the land into what I offer. I often collaborate with Welsh speaking artists to run bilingual workshops. As a neurodivergent Welsh leaner, I recognise how being exposed to Welsh in an informal environmental supports many first language English speaking people to engage more with Welsh langauge, I also acknowledge the right of Welsh speakers to attend Welsh medium workshops and aim for this to be partly acheieved by creating a billingual setting.

The team really know their stuff and worked us through some very interesting tools. We learned about the key mental health issues that might present to leaders, about the causes and how the brain reacts to those.

What was really special was developing and working through strategies to support people feeling unwell. Given the workshop focussed on common mental health issues and was focussed on working in the outdoors it was far superior and much more useful than the mental health first aid I’ve done so far. The course is suitable for all outdoor leaders and instructors.
