Nature Is Already Here: Discovering Nature In Everyday Life - by Mark Rowland
COURSE

Nature Is Already Here: Discovering Nature In Everyday Life

With Mark Rowland

Nature is not somewhere we have to travel to. It is already around us, woven into ordinary life, even when we live far from woodland, open countryside, or a garden of our own. This seven-day course will help you learn to notice that connection again and become more aware of the natural world in everyday life. Together, we will explore changing light and weather, the life that exists around our homes and streets, the subtle signs of the seasons, and the ways our own bodies remind us that we are part of nature too. Each lesson combines gentle teaching with a guided practice, helping you develop simple ways of noticing what is already happening around you. You may choose to practise outdoors, beside a window, while walking through your neighbourhood, or simply from wherever you happen to be. You do not need access to beautiful scenery or somewhere especially peaceful. This course is designed to make nature connection accessible wherever you live. By the end of the week, you will have a new way of paying attention to your surroundings and a deeper awareness of the living world that has been there all along.

Reconnect with the natural world wherever you live.
