sam from natural edge coaching and forest therapy

Have you ever felt lonely at work, even though you have people around you? Here I discuss this in detail and offer ways for more meaningful connection at work.As an experienced PCC executive coach, I work with professionals who want to go beyond daydreaming about the ‘what ifs’ and wondering what might have been. In partnership with nature, we look at those aspects of your personal and professional life which we often try to avoid, with open hearted curiosity to find growth, balance and wholeness, focusing in on the areas which matter most to you. You are invited to step outside into nature during our coaching partnership. Whether it’s within a rural or urban setting, immersing ourselves in a natural environment opens up the senses and widens perspective, enabling you to reach deeper insight and connection. We work within the environment which nurtures your growth, creating the conditions for your abundant and sustainable future.

natalie rossiter wellbeing

People have always told me their stories; it's just in my nature to listen and care. It wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I realised I could do it for a living! It is an immense privilege to be let into people's lives and to watch them grow. My clients are my greatest inspiration and ultimate heroes. The way I work is very relational - I put a lot of myself into what I do.

wild finca online rewilding retreat

Wild Finca is a small scale (agri) rewilding project in Asturias, northern Spain. Luke and Katie took on the ex-dairy farm in 2019, with a vision to turn it into a mini nature reserve, and so Wild Finca was born. Since then they've welcomed two sons, and many guests. Their passion is to reconnect people with the natural world and alongside their in-person guiding they also offer a series of online courses, webinars and retreats.  In this Webinar Luke and Katie give an introduction to Wild Finca, the lessons and learnings from starting 5 years ago, to now, finishing up with answering some questions that came in from the Wild Finca Community. https://vimeo.com/1010482018 [https://vimeo.com/1010482018] If you are interested in learning more about Wild Finca, head to www.WildFinca.com [//www.WildFinca.com] and sign up to our newsletter.

nicola at company of nature

Welcome! Company of Nature supports wellbeing and sustainability through nature connection. It offers forest bathing walks and nature-based activities in the beautiful woodlands and natural areas of Bedfordshire. Company of Nature also offers events, advice, training and packages to support organisations’ work in wellbeing and environmental engagement through nature. It was set up by Nicola Scholfield who has a background in ecology and sustainability and is a qualified forest therapy guide. my story I’ve felt a deep connection with the natural world for as long as I remember. I grew up in rural Bedfordshire and have fond childhood memories of roaming the countryside and visiting beautiful natural places. My love of the wilds led to a degree in ecology and later a masters degree in leadership & sustainability. I’ve enjoyed sharing my love and understanding of nature in many ways since then. I spent many years in the business and charity sectors delivering projects and campaigns to engage people in environmental issues. During this time I experienced first hand the crucial role that nature can play in supporting our mental health and wellbeing. I also developed an understanding of how connecting with nature not only helps our wellbeing but also encourages us to value and care more for nature. I have trained as a Forest Therapy Guide through Nature & Therapy UK, and guide shinrin yoku (forest bathing) and natural mindfulness walks. I also deliver nature-based activities for groups and families in Bedfordshire for The Wildlife Trust. I’m excited by the potential of nature connectedness to support not only our wellbeing, but to encourage the positive actions we need to restore the natural world. I set up Company of Nature to help us restore our relationship with the natural world – to benefit both people and planet. I believe that at the heart of our own wellbeing is a thriving and nourishing planet. We live in the company of nature; we are part of nature and it is part of us. Today I live and work in and around the beautiful Greensand Country of Bedfordshire, and feel very much at home among its heaths and woodlands.
