Summary

In many modern cultures, we find ourselves spending ever more time indoors, sitting down and separated from nature - both the nature within us and the nature all around us. At the same time, we're drawn to want to spend time outdoors and in natural environments, and we have a deep sense of ease when connected to nature. So why is it so hard? In this week's thow-back episode, we explore the inconvenience of nature connection in a modern world and the many ways that our ways of living keep us in separation - sometimes isolation - from the natural world. We explore the impact of a sedentary, indoor lifestyle on our physical, emotional and spiritual health; explore how connecting to nature is infinitely good for our holistic wellbeing - as well as supporting the health of the natural world in return - and reflect on the many different ways to welcome more nature connection into our lives and learning spaces. In this episode we reference the following: Time in Nature report - Eden Project (website) National Trust nature connection report (website) Green Social Prescribing - NHS (website) Harmony - HRH Prince of Wales (Book) The Harmony Project (website & learning resources) Soil & Public Health - Soils Association (website) Guide to forest bathing - Forestry England (website) Hosted on Acast.
