What Happens at Nature Therapy group for 18-25 years olds

Our weekly group nature therapy sessions are a chance to unwind, destress, make connections, and engage with the natural world.

Each week our session themes vary but the structure stays the same. We will meet you in the car park and walk together to a round outdoor wooden hut. Here we will open our circle by introducing ourselves using the talking stick and share how our week has been. We will then invite you to find a ‘sit spot’ or enjoy a ‘wild wonder’ in the nearby woodland to slow down and start to engage and immerse in the natural world. You are then further invited to participate in an activity if you would like to.

Some activities we have enjoyed this year include clay model making, painting, yoga, bug hunting, den building, cloud watching, star gazing, creative writing, foraging, leaf bashing, and much more!

If the weather allows, we may build a campfire and enjoy cooking on the fire while making connections with others in the group.

We finish our session with a closing circle, sharing our gratitude’s.
