nature, connection, creativity and wellbeing workshop facilitation
Facilitated wellbeing workshops, rituals, gatherings, and experiences exploring connection, creativity, and self-discovery
If you're looking for facilitated workshops in Birmingham or across the UK, I'd love to hear from you. You can explore examples of past projects below.
My work is informed by my background as a registered counsellor, somatic trauma therapist, and nature therapist, alongside my past experience as a professional photographer. I'm also a certified trainer and licensed meditation teacher.
Offerings can include some or all of the following:
neuroscience, psychology and wellbeing
somatics and embodiment
folklore, folk practice and Earth-based spirituality
eco-somatics, forest bathing and nature connection
community connection
All offerings are trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and shaped by my lived experience as a neurodivergent practitioner.
You can explore past offerings below, check out my blog for resources and reflections, or head to my FAQs to find out more about me and my values.
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, exploring folklore and folk traditions, ritual and ceremony, cycles and seasons, and archetypes and mythology. A principle of this work is the exploration of themes through somatics and embodied experience, asking how we interpret themes and stories through our felt sense and body’s knowing.
We Forest Folk
An Arts Council England funded festival by Ampersand Projects, around introducing children to folk practices and 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.
Creativity and Wellbeing
Rooted in my previous experience as a professional photographer, I offer workshops that explore wellbeing and somatics, in relation to creative practice. This includes exploring mindfulness and embodiment as a way of connecting with creativity, and interpretation of visual art and folklore through an archetypal and somatic lens. Clients have included Lets Go Workshop in Portland Oregon
and The Midlands Arts Centre
Nature therapy and ecosomatics
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 somatics, meditation and sensory exploration of place. I also provided this programme as a series of plain-English audio guided practices.
Wellbeing and Mental health
I’ve facilitated workshops and sessions for organisations including the NHS and the University of Birmingham, exploring the nervous system and its role in mental health and wellbeing. Working from a somatic perspective, practices invite participants to connect with the body, and develop capacity and internal resourcing. Participants leave with practical tools they can use to support themselves in daily life.
Slow Social
Facilitated gatherings designed to support meaningful connection, in a way that feels intentional and accessible. Like speed dating, but slower, gatherings focus on friendship, community, and genuine human relating. Structured questions and thoughtful prompts support exploration of topics that matter, alongside a handful of playful questions to keep things balanced, while still allowing for relational depth.
