Nature Connection Forest School - Funded by the Volant Charitable trust
"Children do not need to be taught to love nature. They need to be given the chance to be in it."
At the Planetary Healing Center, we believe that every child deserves to feel at home in the natural world. The Nature Connection Forest School is a eight-session outdoor learning programme offering a safe, joyful, and genuinely inclusive space to grow.
Over eight sessions in nature, children will explore the living world around them — its creatures, plants, trees, seasons, and stories — through hands-on, experiential learning that builds confidence, emotional wellbeing, and a deep, lasting sense of belonging in the natural world.
The programme follows the Eight Shields Nature Connection Journey, a widely recognised framework weaving together seasonal awareness, ecological understanding, and the ancestral wisdom of people who have lived close to the land.
Maximum 16 participants
PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT:
We encourage active participation and supervision to create a supportive and enriching environment for everyone involved. Therefore, parents are duly responsible for their children at all times during the sessions. Ensuring the safety and well-being of their children is paramount.
