Mind, Body, Spirit; The countryside, country life; Sports & outdoor recreation

How do we understand nature? Benevolent and supportive? Wild and threatening? Reassuring or unpredictable? We all have a different experience of, and relationship with, nature.

Reflecting on nature's unknowable and mysterious qualities, Grounded explores how we can therapeutically benefit from a deeper connection with nature, finding within it balance, stillness, solitude, resilience, contentment, activity, fearlessness

and our own wild voice.

Within this book, you will discover:

Mindfulness, breathing and stillness activities

Movement exercises to connect with the physical world

Work-life rebalancing

Nature study and eco-therapies
