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 3th July 2026, 10am-12.30pm

 

We'll have time for networking and getting to know each other, as well as a workshop from Ellie Lloyd-Jones, author of Outdoor Coaching on making Nature  partner rather than just the setting for outdoor work:

Most nature-based coaching and facilitation takes place outdoors, but what happens when we move beyond seeing nature as simply the setting for our work?
In this interactive session, we’ll explore how the natural world can become an active partner in the coaching and facilitation process. Through discussion, reflection and practical examples, you’ll be invited to consider how landscapes, weather, movement, metaphor and place can influence the quality of conversations and insights that emerge.

Whether you’re new to working outdoors or already incorporating nature into your practice, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives, practical ideas and a deeper understanding of how to partner with nature as a facilitator rather than simply a backdrop.
