Nature therapy walks

What's a Nature Therapy Walk?


A nature therapy walk is a relaxed way to forge fresh connections with the natural world. You’ll feel your senses open, tensions dissolve and your imagination blossom. Come to restore, reset and nurture yourself.


What it's not.


This is not hardcore hiking, or schooling in botanical names and species identification.

Slip out of your head and into the naturalness of your body as it feels and relaxes and knows itself again.


What’s the benefit?


Science has rediscovered what our bodies never forgot: time in nature benefits us, body, mind and spirit, in many ways. It produces improvements in:


  • the health of patients with cardio-vascular disease, chronic pain and diabetes;
  • mental health for depression and anxiety sufferers;
  • immune system responses;
  • community wellbeing, from lower crime rates to faster recovery for post-surgical patients;
  • workplace productivity and satisfaction; and
  • cognitive focus, problem solving and creativity.


All of that? Yes. And more. Humans needs nature like plants need sunshine.

Nature Therapy Walks acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which our gathering and walking takes place.

We pay our respects to Elders and ancestors, past and present.

From Labels “to the things themselves”

By Wendy Guest • March 9, 2023
We are, as a species, addicted to naming things. Blame Genesis. Once the story got out that God created the animals and plants but gave Adam naming rights, we all wanted in on the game.

Testimonials

"With three little kids, work . . .

there’s not much time to totally relax. Feeling the moss, lying on the rock, letting nature take over for a few hours was a tonic. I’m restored to me."

~ Tobie Say

“Reconnecting with nature – listening to the birds singing, the sound of the wind, I feel my inner animal becoming one with creation again. I am part of the grass, the trees, the animals.”

~ Lucy Mushita 


“To say a feast of the senses sounds a bit over the top, but you listen, touch, smell - it was very calming and a lovely time spent just communing with what’s natural.”

~ Ian Argent
