When we remember that we belong to this living world, care naturally flows - to ourselves, to one another, and to the Earth.
Nature Connection Experiences
You belong to this living world.
When we slow down enough to listen, the forests, rivers, mountains, birds, and open skies remind us of something we have always known: we are not separate from nature—we are nature.
These guided experiences invite you to step away from the noise and urgency of daily life and into a more reciprocal relationship with the living world. Through mindfulness, deep listening, gentle practices, and time spent in nature, we cultivate well-being, resilience, connection, and a renewed sense of belonging.
Drawing inspiration from ecotherapy, ecopsychology, mindfulness, and forest therapy, each experience is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember that you belong.
-
Many people are surprised by how different it feels to experience nature with a gentle guide. When we're on our own, part of our attention naturally remains occupied with navigating, making decisions, watching the time, or simply staying aware of the safety of our surroundings. During a guided experience, you're invited to set those responsibilities aside and simply arrive.
Each of us holds an innate capacity for healing, growth, and wholeness. When we enter into relationship with the living world, supported by gentle guidance and mindful presence, there is space for our own healing intelligence to meet the wisdom of the living world. Within this relationship, healing, insight, regulation, resilience, and belonging can gently unfold.
Rather than seeing nature simply as the setting for these experiences, I work in partnership with the living world. Together, we create opportunities to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that we belong.
UPCOMING EXPERIENCES
Throughout the year, I offer monthly Gatherings and four Seasonal Immersions, each shaped by a different theme and the rhythms of the season—inviting different ways to pause, reconnect, and practise together.
Come for one, return throughout the year, or simply join when something speaks to you.
Turning Towards Gratitude - A Seasonal Immersion
TURNING TOWARDS GRATITUDE
A Seasonal Immersion
An autumn afternoon to slow down and experience gratitude in relationship with the living world—notice what is here, how it touches us, and what naturally wants to move back into the world.
Through meditation, slow wandering, a gratitude Earth altar, solo hammock rest beneath the autumn canopy, and a warming spiced elixir, we’ll explore the reciprocal dance of receiving and giving back.
Four spacious hours to notice, receive, and simply be.
Deep Appreciation
DEEP APPRECIATION - A Fireside Gathering
Slowing down enough to notice what is already here.
What changes when gratitude becomes something we feel, rather than something we think we should practise?
Gathered fireside beneath the colours of autumn, Deep Appreciation is a two-hour invitation to slow down, notice, and receive what is already here—the people, places, small moments, and living world quietly supporting our lives.
Through caring awareness meditation, embodied practices, reflection, connection, and conversation, we’ll explore appreciation not as a way of looking away from what is difficult, but as an anchor that helps us widen our attention and meet our lives with greater presence and care.
The Last Sweet Days of Summer - An afternoon for Nervous System Renewal
As late summer gently gives way to autumn, join Amarin for an afternoon to be nourished and nurtured by the quiet wisdom of the living world. Through gentle mindfulness invitations, slow wandering, hammock rest, seasonal wildcrafted tea, and a nourishing treat, you'll be invited to settle your nervous system, slow your pace, and reconnect with yourself, one another, and the more-than-human world.
An afternoon to exhale, reconnect, and remember that you belong.
