In this two hour online session, certified nature and forest therapy guide Linda Carson will offer you a series of invitations to help you slow down, tune into your senses, and reconnect with nature.

This session is limited to eight participants - so get in quick!

Many of us instinctively know that time in nature is good for us. A growing body of research suggests that spending time in nature can deliver a range of health benefits. These include boosting immunity, reducing stress hormone and blood pressure levels, and improving mood and cognition. A guided nature therapy walk can help you to tap into these health benefits. It also offers space for self-reflection and can lead to new insights, perspective and understanding.

How does a remotely guided session work?

You will interact with your guide and other participants through an online Zoom call. You can join from anywhere that you will be physically safe and comfortable and can use any device with internet access. For instance, you could join from a local park or nature reserve, your garden, your verandah or even from indoors.

If you will be indoors, try to have access to an open window and some objects from nature, for instance a pot plant, leaves, stones or shells.

You won't be looking at a screen the whole time - after an introduction and a guided meditation you will have several opportunities to explore your surroundings or engage with nature objects. You will just need to stay within earshot of your device so your guide can call you and the group back together. Between each invitation, participants will come together and share a few words, if they choose to. At the conclusion of the session, you will have time to reflect and chat with the guide and other participants.
