A fundamental shift is needed in the way we all live and work in order to create a regenerative, fair, healthy, and loving world where the future of our planet and the vast interconnected web of life is protected, where justice and dignity prevail for all, where communities are healthy, happy and safe, and where workplaces make employees feel good about themselves and their work. 

 

Those of us using nature-based or nature-inspired approaches are all doing our bit to help promote this shift - we're helping people to live and work differently in order to create a regenerative future for people, organisations, communities and the natural environment. 

 

By connecting with each other, sharing with each other, supporting each other, and learning from each other, we can amplify our impact and make even more of a difference, both individually and collectively. The Nature Practitioner Network aims to bring together trainers, facilitators and coaches who are using nature-based or nature-inspired approaches so that we can become stronger and more influential in our work. 

 

We all know that trees in a woodland grow bigger, stronger, and healthier through sharing information and resources with each other via the Wood-Wide Web, and these events are an opportunity for us to do the same.  This is a new and growing network, so gatherings are initially being held online, but ideally we will also come together face-to-face at least once a year.

Our next gathering: ​​​Friday 9th October 2026, 10am-12.30pm

 

For this Autumn gathering we'll have plenty of time for getting to know each other, sharing your own experiences, and learning from other people's experiences and successes, and our workshop this time will explore how we can work with Nature's elements to promote learning and personal growth.

Workshop: Working with Nature's Elements with Nicki Davey from Saltbox

​

Across the globe since ancient times, people have used the four elements of Nature as a model to make sense of the world.  In this workshop we’ll delve deeper into the Celtic model of the elements and explore how we can apply their wisdom to our work so that we generate greater meaning and relevance for learners and participants.

Not only are Earth, Air, Fire, and Water the raw materials necessary for life, but their features, qualities, and roles offer us a powerful symbolic representation of the different dimensions of life. When we combine these with Aether (the life force that exists within, between and around the elements, holding everything together and generating balance through perpetual movement and change) we gain a more holistic understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us and we can bring this wisdom into our lives and our work. 

Join us for a joyful journey in which we’ll explore the elements as powerful forces of change and regeneration, identify what we can learn from them, and consider how we can foster a more elemental approach to life for ourselves and in those we work with.
