Retreat into nature
2 different Mindful-Nature retreats for 2022/23:
1. Pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago
2. Mindful Nature Connection in the beautiful Algarve, Portugal.

"This course is what is needed in our world. When we connect with nature, we realise how interconnected and interdependent we are. It encourages us to continue to save and protect our natural world in any way possible." Christine
"This course has really changed my outlook on nature. I now go out into nature to do mindfulness and I am really beginning to harness the power of the natural world. I am a secondary school teacher and I feel that I could incorporate mindfulness in nature with my stressed out 6th formers." Pauline
