FIND YOUR WILD
When you step into the Woodland Classroom you will “Explore Nature, Discover Self and Build Community.”
Reconnecting people of all ages with nature through bushcraft, outdoor learning, forest school, nature therapy and wellbeing in the woods. We deliver our own programme of engaging outdoor courses, and we work with schools, groups, businesses and at events.
Mindfulness & Bushcraft
When it comes to the history of humans living on Earth, for 99.9% of our history we have been living side-by-side with nature, cooking over campfires, hunting & gathering and thriving in close-knit communities. Just think about that!
No wonder that so many people struggle with the pace of modern life in this industrialised, digital age that we find ourselves in. At Woodland Classroom, we believe that the antidote to the stress of modern living is through connection to nature and connection to self & each other.
We host a unique programme of workshops which combine bushcraft with mindfulness and our clients have seen how these two disciplines make perfect partners as positive mental and physical health can be achieved through the art of bushcraft and being more mindful in nature. Here we are doing two very simple things; we are honouring our inner hunter-gatherer and we are living in the present moment.
Our workshops inspire, relax and sharpen the minds of groups who attend. Join us around the campfire and experience a range of mindfulness techniques and practical bushcraft skills which you can then take forward into your own life. Our techniques can help to:
Reduce stress
Lower anxiety
Increase focus and concentration
Develop creative thinking
Improve problem solving abilities
Build confidence, community and cohesion
