Verdant Life - Therapy and Nature Moray

15/06/2026

Was a lovely opportunity to spend time with such a lovely group, and support and be supported by the wonderful Moray Walking and Outdoor Festival.

We had an explore of the Hinterland woodland, and regenerated pines near Findhorn beach, so lovely to see the dune grasses abundant in this area too.

My thanks to the attendees, Moray Walking and Outdoor Festival and to Findhorn Hinterland Trust.

Until next year! 🌿💚🌊

Some tickets freed up because of a cancellation, still time to book on if you’re up for a very relaxing morning, exploring nature in different ways…💚🌿🌊🐚

A relaxing sensory walk, that incorporates simple mindful invitations to help us relax and restore in the gorgeous area of the Findhorn Hinterland woodland and the surrounding dunes.

The link between nature connection and creativity has long been explored and prized as one of the greatest inspirations to art, literature and science.

But how can it help us?

Ideas come more quickly, my thoughts roam freely and I’m reminded I am not the main form of life on the planet

It really is the simple things. A lovely article about how a lady improved her health and connection to the wider world of nature 😊

After a period of burnout, I realised that nature knows what you need, and is always ready to offer it – you just have to be quiet enough to receive it

Never a truer word said 😂

A lovely article by the wonderful
Forest Healing (thank you Hugh 💚) that encapsulates so much about why I do the work I do and what it means. ‘Attention restoration’ theory is helpful as well as being an accurate term!

We restore the ability to pay attention when we slow down, and the natural world helps us to do that wonderfully, as we are part of it, our brains are a perfect fit.

My next group session is on Saturday 13th June as part of the Moray Walking & Outdoor Festival. I also offer bespoke 1:1 sessions to explore more deeply.

See you in the woods?

In a noisy, hurried world, it can be surprisingly hard to rest in the present moment. Our attention is tugged in several directions at once: screens, deadlines, messages, noise, and the quiet pressure to keep up. Nature mindfulness offers a gentler way back. At its heart, it is the practice of payin

Happy Spring! As the season literally unfurls the light catching the new fresh green leaves has been delectable.

This is called ‘komorebi’ a beautiful Japanese term for ‘the play of sunlight through leaves’. Enjoy! As the green changes through the year the quality of komorebi too changes. A delight.

Love a good rookery 💚 😊

Loving their raucous shenanigans. I can only imagine what drama is unfolding in their lively social world…

🌿Saturday 21st March 2 - 4.30pm.

🌿So looking forward to offering a guided forest bathing walk to gently mark the Spring Equinox here at the lovely Burgie Arboretum. The crocuses are up and the daffs are out.

🌿What is forest bathing? It is space to connect with nature through gentle invitations that stimulate our generally, in modern life, underused senses.

🌿This can have the wonderful effect of calming us down and inspiring us into better wellbeing.

🌿You’ll leave having connected perhaps more gently to yourself, to likeminded others and of course to wider nature.

🌿The science is extensive about how beneficial this practice can be…but science is nothing compared to experience, so why not join us and see for yourself?

🌿Concessions welcome. If money is a barrier drop me a line.
