Time in nature is medicine for modern life. When you combine this with walking, you get a whole body and mind healing.

I have been walking through the seasons for many years now - and since we began noticing and learning about the fungi, flora, fauna and wildlife residing here, it has become a wonderful awareness practice, offering space to notice what is growing, what is resting, and what is ready to be released - both in the landscape and within ourselves.

Walks with Purpose is an invitation to step out of busyness and into presence, peace and curiosity.

Who the walks are for:

Walks with Purpose is for families, individuals, and those seeking a gentler way of being outdoors.

Some people come to learn about plants, fungi, trees, birds, and seasonal changes.
Others come for quiet, movement, conversation, or simply to be amongst the green for a magical dose of nature.

All are welcome.

What happens on a walk:

Walks are relaxed and responsive to the season, surroundings, and people present.

We pause often, notice what is alive around us, and allow space for curiosity, reflection, and shared learning.

We may identify wild edible plants, herbs and fungi, spend a moment listening to birdsong or notice interesting insects.

It is a lovely way just to be - and you may find yourself immersed in the nature around you, rather than in the thoughts that circle your mind.

Slow Seasonal Living:

Each season brings a different quality to our walks.

Spring invites attention to emergence and change - think wild Spring greens, early blossoms, vibrant birdsong.

Summer inspires expansion and vitality - wild flowers and herbs, blooming trees and soaring birds.

Autumn offers time for harvesting and letting go - think berries for immune health, the abundance of fantastic fungi and the significance of trees.

Winter calls for rest, stillness and deeper noticing - what birds are still singing? What is nature doing to better prepare for the cold months ahead?

My Ethos:

My work is shaped by a background in healing diets, yoga, and ongoing training in herbal medicine, alongside many years of learning and listening to the plants and the landscape.

These practices inform how I walk, notice, and share, and are a gentle invitation to listen more closely to nature and understand how she can inspire and influence our lives.
