explore past wellbeing workshops and events
Workshops, rituals and gatherings that support wellbeing, connection and self exploration
If you’re looking for a wellbeing facilitator, I am available for workshops, keynotes, training, festivals and other gatherings.
My offerings are underpinned by my work as a counsellor and a somatic trauma therapist, a nature therapist, specialising in sessions that blend psychology, neuroscience, wellbeing, spirituality and nature connection.
All of my offerings are trauma-informed, identity affirming and underpinned by psychology and neuroscience.
I’ve worked with various organisations, including Birmingham University and the NHS, as well as having my own in-house offerings, which are designed to support people to explore connection to self, each other and nature.
You can explore past offerings below. If you’d like to work with me please get in touch.

Seasonal ceremonies, and rites of passage
I hold regular gatherings and Earth based spirituality circles in nature, where we explore initiation, ritual and ceremony around cycles, seasons and the Celtic-Pagan wheel of the year. These sessions create an intentional space where people can explore a deeper connection of the natural world through spiritual connection, somatic practices and reciprocity. I also offer an audio-guided set of practices that explore these themes.
We Forest Folk
An Arts Council England funded festival by Ampersand Projects, around introducing children to folk crafts. I delivered sound-based meditation workshops exploring the sounds of the forest through singing, chanting, and listening. I also shared folk stories and nature based practices.
Mindfulness supper clubs
A collaboration with Verbena, a modern British Restaurant in Stirchley, Birmingham where we created a meditative journey through a carefully curated menu. This offering included guided meditation, exploration of food through story and ritual, activation of the senses, experiential dishes and live soundscapes.
Let’s Go Workshop
Tapping into my arts and photography background, this workshop for photographers at Let’s Go, Portland Oregon explored mindfulness as a way of seeing, reframing creativity, and connecting to the world with all of your senses. I also delivered a keynote talk around mental health and wellbeing from a neuroscience perspective.
Nature therapy and mindfulness programmes
Working in partnership with the Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust and Moseley Development Trust to deliver programmes for young people and refugees. These sessions were underpinned by neuroscience and psychology and explored gentle connection with nature through meditation and sensory exploration of place. I can also provide this programme as a series of audio guided practices.
Wellbeing and Mental Health Workshops
Workshops focus on the role of the autonomic nervous system in stress, depression and anxiety from a polyvagal theory perspective. This includes exploring practices to understand the nervous system and its role in mental health, as well as practical tools to activate the parasympathetic nervous system / rest and digest response.
