Rooted With Nature: 6 week Nature‑Based Wellbeing Programme

🗓 Taster/ Introductory Session 23rd September 11am-1pm
6 week programme starts: 7th October – 11th November | ⏱ Weekly 3‑hour sessions 10am-1pm
📍 Growing Links Community Garden, Gulval, Penzance

Our flagship 6 week programme of nature based wellbeing for people and planet has had a rebrand and we are returning to Growing Links Community Garden.

"Woodland Wellness" is now "Rooted With Nature" to reflect the new sites we are working from.

We are offering a Taster/ Introduction session from 11-1pm on 23rd September. This is for referrers and potential participants.

Then, from Autumn 2026 we are offering a 6 week programme with a weekly 3-hour (10am-1pm) nature-based group session from the 7th October through to the 11th November.

Growing Links CIC Posses Lane Gulval Penzance TR18 3FJ

Bookings are essential and you will need to commit to all 6 sessions.

For people who would like to improve their mental, physical, emotional health through the proven benefit of spending time in nature with others.

We will teach you nature connection practices to resource you to manage your wellbeing and self care.

​Every session weaves together time in nature, gentle movement, creative activities, plant and wildlife knowledge, space to be alone, and time with the group — all to help you feel more connected: to yourself, to others, and to the earth beneath your feet.

Everything is an invitation so there’s no pressure...participate as much as feels comfortable

Nature connection practices helps you come into the present moment and feel more grounded. This can be particularly helpful if you are struggling with stress, anxiety, poor sleep, low self esteem or a health condition.

Rooted With Nature is an inclusive space for anyone. This is a space to take some time for yourself.

To rest. To connect. To reset.

We have full or partially funded spaces available for anyone that needs them. We aim to keep our sessions affordable and inclusive.

If you can afford to, paying for your space supports others to take part and helps Nature Connects be more financially sustainable in the future. If you can’t and need a fully funded space that’s what they’re there for.

£35 per session/ 6 week programme costs £210. Contributions from £1-£210 are appreciated.

If you want to benefit from nature connection but do not feel ready to join a group consider joining us for a one to one (get in touch to find out more)

It's been quite a quiet start to the year for us at Nature Connects...our Nature Connects mascot- Hobbs the Superdog has been recovering from spinal surgery so he has needed a lot of care and support.

We have been mainly focusing on training cohorts of NHS Staff to deliver nature and health interventions in their services. And on delivering staff wellbeing for staff working for the Cornwall Foundation NHS Trust.
This has been really rewarding and inspiring work and we feel very excited to see all the developments happening within the NHS in Cornwall.

We have also been focused on fundraising, planning and developing new projects and partnerships...more to come on these soon

Last week it was wonderful to be back doing what we love 💚💚💚
We ran a session for West Cornwall Women's Aid and for Camborne Town Council ...we even got Camborne's Mayor hugging a tree 🌳
They were both lovely sessions and we hope our participants really enjoyed them

We also found out that our application to the National Lottery's Climate and environment fund was successful 🥰 we are so grateful for their support! 🙏

We will be offering our flagship 6 week programmes of nature based wellbeing for people and planet in Penzance and Penwith over 18 months
These will be at and

We hope to connect with you 💚💚💚

🌿💚🌿 Today is our 6th Birthday 🌿💚🌿

Since 2020 we set out on a mission for a more nature connected Cornwall.
Since then we have connected hundreds of people to themselves as nature for the wellbeing of people and planet 💚

We have developed many wonderful projects, networked and worked in collaboration with amazing partners at amazing venues and advocated for a One Health approach to be integrated within Cornwall.

We're not quite there yet but there has been huge positive progression towards this over the years. 💚

It's often been challenging to keep going and constantly needing to secure funding can be exhausting. But somehow we've always managed to get by and it's also been incredibly regenerative, joyful and connective work 💚

And in these times of climate breakdown, ecological emergency and all the accompanying crises we're facing remembering we ARE nature has never been more important

💚 There is only One Health💚

With huge thanks to our supporters, participants, funders, partners, colleagues, networks, teachers and mentors.

To our team of skilled, empathic, playful, wild and wonderful facilitators and directors thank you, thank you, thank you. We couldn't have got here without you

Special love and gratitude of course goes most of all to the rest of the wild living world to which we belong. Thank you for the life you give, the abundance you provide and the ongoing life lessons always available if we just pause and pay attention.

Great Estate Folk!
Tomorrow, and Sunday, come and find Nature Connects at the Wellness Tent in the Tribal Village 12-1pm
Explore where Nature meets wellbeing and learn some nature connection practices, have some fun and see the festival site through new eyes ❤️
Both sessions will be held by the wonderful Paul from Forest Bathing Cornwall, who has kindly stepped in at the last minute, as Sarah can't be there due to her poorly dog
Have a wonderful time

Woodland Wellness is having a rebrand and we need your help!
Our flagship transformative 6 week programme of nature based wellbeing for people and planet always used to be delivered in woodlands hence the name.
However, as we have moved locations we now need a new name that reflects our ability to deliver our sessions in any natural space.

Our favourite idea is:
Rooted in Nature: 6 weeks nature based connection programme for people and planet.

What do you think? Comment to tell us your preference and any new suggestions are very welcome!

Check out this interesting read from the Natural Academy on "Why Ecopsychology Matters"

It highlights the context for the work Nature Connects is doing in Cornwall to rebuild the human-nature relationship and support the emergence of a One Health approach.

Re-situating psyche within the living world as a root to our return to wholeness, and what applied ecopsychology looks like in practice at Natural Academy
