Nature Connection Course May 2024

This spring  join our Nature Connection course

and maximise the benefits of nature to reduce stress and anxiety, raise mood, support your immune system and improve sleep. 

Most of us intuitively know that spending time outside makes us feel better, but modern living means we spend increasing amounts of time inside. Extensive research shows us that being in green spaces has a multitude of benefits. 

What should I expect?

You can expect to hear more about the science behind the power of nature, and you’ll learn about active ingredients including phytoncides, fractals and awe. We’ll put the science into action and we’ll practise a range of practical, creative and mindful activities together, spending most of our session outside in the beautiful setting of The Barn KT9 on the edge of Epsom Common.

The four, 90 minute sessions will be a combination of ‘learning’ and ‘experiencing’ in order to leave you feeling relaxed and connected to nature, and by the end you will have identified the techniques that suit you. We’ll work towards sustainable habits that fit into your busy life and that will support your wellbeing indefinitely.
