Nature Therapy and Adults

Picture
Nature Therapy for adults is for those in need of additional inner strength to support self healing.

​It is for anyone affected by trauma, mental distress or for individuals who want to gain insights into their own way of being.

We offer the ability to find solace and meaning through ancient knowledge, wilderness theory, creativity, the natural environment and connecting with your inner power.

Over the past years we have been working to raise awareness of a human trait know as Sensitivity.

Wings Project

After 14 years of delivering our highly renowned group programme, Wolf Medicine, we are now offering group sessions based on this course and aimed at Post Trauma Growth. 

Trauma is stored at a cellular level in our bodies and somatic therapies use the brain body connection to help release the trauma.  

The sessions on offer are aimed at building mental, emotional and spiritual growth following trauma.

It is not about denying the pain and challenges from a trauma but focusing on the strength and  transformational growth that can occur following adversity. 

Funded by the Community Lottery,  the sessions are free for anyone who feels in need of additional strength and resilience for whatever reason. 


We  walk alongside you for part of your growth journey  offering guidance, support and insight into your own way of being as you move towards self healing. You will not be asked to talk about your trauma. 

The aim is for you to find your own power by connecting with the wilder and often hidden parts of  your inner landscape. 

Chose from a variety of somatic activities such as mindfulness, forest bathing, art, dancing with horses,  dowsing, drumming, medicine of the wheel and labyrinths.

As from January 2026, these sessions are linked to our Artful Drumming Cafe so we can provide a larger menu of activities for everyone to enjoy. It also ensures we can continue to provide free sessions when the funding for free placements ends. 

We offer a visit to real wolves in a group setting several times a year.

The Island Herb Garden

In 2023 we started work on a new project to establish a community Herb Garden to help raise awareness of the importance of plants on our wellbeing

Newport Parish Council provided us with an allotment on the outskirts of Pan Community Park and our lovely volunteers have been busy clearing the area. 

We are currently fundraising to purchase resources such as a shed, raised beds and items we need to run free workshops and provide volunteer opportunities.

The intent is for more people to  come together to further our knowledge about native herbs, herbs in general and herbal remedies.
