Working with people, particularly in challenging environments, can have a significant impact on our own systems. To ensure we can sustain offering out, without burning out, it’s imperative we can effectively restore and nourish ourselves. This workshop invites enquiry into self-care, reflection on what enhances our capacity to self-nurture and what hinders it, at the same time as offering a space to connect to nature, slow the pace, and support self-regulation. Joining together in an ancient woodland in the heart of Derbyshire, we offer you the opportunity to turn your attention towards yourself for a day. There will be space to reflect in nature, work creatively with and within nature, in your own space, in pairs and within the group. There will be a fire-pit to gather round, nourishing refreshments and friendly faces. Times: Fridays, 10am – 5pm Location: Ambergate, Derbyshire Dates for 2020: 27th March, 12th June, 16th October Cost: £90 Facilitated by Natasha Sephton / assisted by Kirsty Weedon. Refreshments included. Please bring your own lunch. CPD certificates available on completion For more information and to book, please email Natasha via the Contacts page here. |

What has been said… ‘As someone who offers support to bereaved families, it can be easy to prioritise others over myself. Stepping out into nature, alongside other caring professionals has really enriched me, both as a human being and in my professional life. Finding balance, and taking time for myself is what I found I the woods! Valuing myself, and my own experiences, reflecting on taking care of my own heart, so I can better offer care to others. I'm really thankful for this day, Natasha and Kirsty, and feel humbled to have shared it with the others there too.’ Carly
