Personal DEVELOPMENT

fully funded traineeship

making nature connection accessible to everyone.

we are delighted to be able to offer funded traineeships for people who want to become qualified ‘forest school’ practitioners and undertake a transformative personal and professional journey that involves the deepening of their connection and nature based skills within a holistic learning environment, understanding how development takes place and how to facilitate this experience for others through coordinating and delivering forest school programmes. 

community offerings

seasonal gatherings

in collaboration with wilderthorn wild ones.

many of the occasions we know today, such as ‘halloween’, ‘easter’ and ‘christmas’ have their origins in ancient celtic festivals. these were celebrations amongst communities of people who were in close relationship with the natural world and who knew their survival was dependent on it. we are harking back to these old ways and reimaging them in the 21st century to mark and honour the seasons and the nature-based traditions of times past through the ‘wheel of the year’ amongst the trees with storytelling, live music, crafts, ceremony and fire.

  • kinship in nature shares a truly unique and very moving, spiritual experience and connection with nature... and with others in the circle... a chance to take special time out surrounded by the natural beauty and tranquility of a secret forest setting, guided by really lovely, caring professional forest teachers.
