Neurons And Nature

15/06/2025

The wonderful Moire Stevenson PhD not only flew over from Quebec, Montreal to speak at our conference, she also took us out for an experiential sea kayaking workshop on Saturday morning.

Moire demonstrated how she incorporates mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapies into her outdoor work, with sensory connection and present moment awareness. We even had a couple of anxious first time kayakers to perfectly demonstrate willingness and values based action in ecotherapy.

For us the driving force behind Neurons and Nature was sharing skills, ideas and practice through experiencing and doing together. Thank you Moire for capturing this so well.

That's it for Neurons and Nature 2025! 🌿🧠🌳

Huge thank you to this afternoons speakers and workshoppers.

We had talks from an NHS team delivering nature connection interventions in Huntingtons Disease, Neuro In Nature CIC spoke to us about their projects delivering forest bathing to people with neurological conditions, and ended with a research panel Q&A on conducting research into nature connection work.

Another amazing conference and we managed to dodge the rain!

Thanks also to our sponsors RWK Goodman, without whom today's event wouldn't have been possible.

Now for dinner, social connection and reflections on the day 😊

🌿 Keynote Speaker! 🌿

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr Moire Stevenson over from Canada as the keynote speaker at this year’s Neurons and Nature conference!

A clinical psychologist based in Montreal, her keynote talk will explore ecotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — with a focus on mindfulness during nature-based practices such as climbing, kayaking, and 'walk and talk' therapies.
Dr. Stevenson offers an evidence-based approach to using the outdoors not just as a setting, but as a partner in the therapeutic process.
🎤 Don’t miss this opportunity to hear how climbing a rock face or paddling a river can become pathways for psychological growth, resilience, and present moment connection.
