The importance of connecting with the more-than-human world is increasingly recognised in mainstream approaches to health and well-being, education and conservation. More people are seeking this kind of connection, led by the alienation in their lives, which has been exacerbated by recent pandemic lockdowns.

Awakening the senses through play in nature and mindful walks through the woods; opportunities to observe and learn about plants and animals using skills like tracking or identifying bird language; acquiring key bushcraft skills such as fire-making, crafting with wild materials and foraging for food and medicine; spending longer periods immersed in wild natural places, either in groups or supported solo-time; exploring geological time or learning to reading the life of a landscape and place; and gradually discovering the deep transformative power of an emerging ecological consciousness where we recognise that we too are nature.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, nature connection work sometimes reproduces the conditioning from our dominant individualistic, consumerist, and capitalist culture. When it does, its radically transformative power can be lost. Radical Nature Connection (RNC) work applies the benefits of nature connection &#8211; such as greater clarity,\u00a0resilience, vitality, motivation, well-being, and connection with self and others &#8211; to leverage\u00a0social change.
