Description

A walk exploring how to find your way, connecting with nature and the landscape.

We will practice some basic navigation skills, observing how nature and the landscape support our journeys in the outdoors.

This will help us understand where we are and where we are going – reflecting also on how the ‘natural navigating’ mindset can help us back in our daily lives too.

We will also explore how, returning to the natural environment that we evolved in, our body and brain become primed to operate in certain ways, and how this can support us in everyday life.

This be a moderate walk through open parkland and woodland, with plenty of stops and opportunities to observe, discuss and learn.

No experience required, just curiosity.

Jointly led by David Matthews, Mountain Leader and Training Provider with DWM Outdoors CIC; and Christina Gillett, certified coach and facilitator for Nature’s Blueprint CIC.
