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 4th December 2026, 10am-12.30pm

 

For this Winter 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 alongside nature to explore endings and beginnings in our practice. 

​

Workshop: Seasonal Shifts & Cycles - Why endings and beginnings matter in nature-led approaches with JK McQuinn, founder of Where the Mind Grows and author of A Version of Grief: Finding life beyond loss with nature as your guide.

​

The world is calling us to tend to endings and to create new beginnings. In our work as nature practitioners, we may be hearing expressions of loss, uncertainty and grief more often than before. How can Nature help us make space for this - both for ourselves and the people we work with?

In this practical workshop, JK will share how we can work alongside nature to explore endings and beginnings in our practice. We’ll focus on the broad context of endings which, beyond bereavement, may include endings of projects, change at work, identity aspects, goals, changes in health, ecological grief and more, and will explore how nature's cycles and patterns can act as a co-guide for conversations with clients, teams and groups.

You'll leave with fresh awareness,  confidence and context of how this applies to your own work and a few practical ways nature can support you to facilitate space for endings and beginnings.
