A mindful, embodied and relational practice
The nature connection expriences I offer are rooted and inspired by the Japanese art of shinrin-yoku, ecopsychology and deep nature connection practices. It is a seemingly simple yet profound wellness practice, accessible to everyone, whatever fitness level.
These intimate group experiences are like a small journey where time suspends itself. Through specially crafted activities, you will be invited to slow down, to reengage all your senses and to connect to the present moment and place. You will be offered the opportunity to tune in to yourself, as well as experience and connect with the natural world in an entirely new way. By sharing our experience of nature together, we will have the opportunity to explore our personal and collective insights. And to complete our time together, we often share a "nature tea" together under the canopy or the bright blue sky.
Connecting to nature with our full presence allows us to be more receptive to what it has to mirror back to us, while cultivating a deeper appreciation for all the living world. Unlike some other nature-based practices, these experiences don't exploit nature for the sole benefit of human health, it encourages the development of a mutual respect and care.

FAQ:
Why walk with a certified guide? Some people find it hard to slow down and relax, struggle to stay away from screens and be present and feel the constant pressure to be "productive". It often leads to chronic stress and tiredness, numbness and apathy. A certified guide ensures that you can deeply reconnect to the natural world and benefit from the full experience, without any distractions. My role is first to remove the worry of time keeping and destination from you, as well as ensure your safety and comfort. Each walk is unique and I'm trained to create sensory and mindful ways to interact with nature through an intimate collaboration with it. I help you to slow down and transition from your fast-paced and busy life to a calmer and more personal territory. I also provide a safe space for all the participants to share their experience. I run regular public sessions and I can organize private ones for small groups to mark special occasions, to support wellbeing or deepen the sense of belonging. |
