Last weekend we camped on the dry Somerset earth and attended the Roots of the Heart gathering. Roots of the Heart is a Natural Academy community of practice gathering - a coming together to connect and share.

Sharing feelings, thoughts, practice, song, poetry, story and food. Connecting with each other, the land, the other than human and our natural selves.

In this time of dryness and drought it was deeply nourishing to be in community with others who feel both the grief and the love.

In these times of polycrisis we have such gratitude for these spaces.

In October we are facilitating another Natural Academy Threshold Course in ecopsychology in Brighton. We love sharing this introduction to nature based practice and being with a group to explore the three realms of practice over three days.

We are delighted that there is another Ecopsychology Threshold Course running in Brighton in October.

Participants on the last course in May said they appreciated "the pace of it, the holding of the group by the facilitators, the spaciousness to absorb."

"This has been such a brilliant introduction to ecopsychology. I'm really looking forward to starting this journey to becoming a practitioner".

Do come and join us for this three day introduction to applied eco psychology at the beautiful Centre for Ecotherapy in Stanmer Park, Brighton. We would love to see you there 🌳

We had a lovely afternoon at the Maybridge Keystone Centre garden yurt on Friday, taking time to connect to ourselves, each other and the beautiful garden we were in.

We noticed and sketched shadow and light dancing through the leaves and then made lavender bags to take home.

We have another session coming up in August, do let us know if you're interested.

With thanks to Breathing Spaces for letting us use the garden - such a beautiful community resource.

We had a beautiful afternoon in the woodland garden at the Maybridge Keystone Centre appreciating the early signs of spring, moving our bodies beneath the trees and making collage books of our experience.

With huge thanks to for the funding.

Just posting some photos from a beautiful late January walk in Beach House Park. We were connecting to the early signs of spring - what we could see, hear, smell and touch.

At the end we created a group word picture of our experience.

SAY SAY SAY

Say spring is springing out of the bareness under the tickle tree,
Say that hidden in the bark, hidden in the nodules are faces and frogs.
The early spring air is perfumed,
The tiny little mouse is finding it’s house,
The chubby squirrel is busy nesting,
Winged ones calling and flying around, welcoming us to this place.
A carpet of colour emerges, showing the signs of spring,
New bulbs awakening throughout the park.
The stillness of the day with sunshine bursting through.
When I was sleeping I heard the grass growing.
Say - spring is springing out!

Created by the group.
Beach House Park 29th January 2026

By the end of the walk people felt peaceful, relaxed, grounded, content, energised, grateful, regenerated and connected.

With huge thanks to for funding these nature, health and wellbeing walks.

Our first nature connection walk of the year! The storm had just passed and a group of people braved the cold and the last drops of rain to walk along the coast connecting to wind, sea, sky and gulls. We were gifted the beauty of the sun setting through the clouds.

As we came to the end of our time together people felt calm, settled, relaxed and grateful.

"Even though it was very cold it was lovely to be outside enjoying nature!"
"Wild Gathering has given me a deeper insight into life and nature."

Gratitude to for funding these walks.
