Overview

THIS WORKSHOP WILL OPEN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW WE, AS OUTDOOR PRACTITIONERS, CAN SUPPORT OUR LEARNERS THROUGH TIMES OF ANXIETY AND TRAUMA.

Topics will include working with sensory preferences, embodiment and integration, recognising the importance of working with ourselves as well as our learners, and the key role nature connection can play in supporting emotional regulation.

Calling upon current neurological understanding, Jon will offer participants the opportunity to try out new practical ideas as well as reaffirming our understanding of the emotional benefits of nature based education.
