Youth Mindfulness Courses.

Giving young people well-being and resilience for life.

These sessions can be one to one. Small groups or run as a family course.

If you feel that you would like to give your young person some resilience and coping strategies to navigate our ever-changing world, whilst being outside in nature, then this is the course for them.

Nature has no expectation, no failure, or they can just be. The perfect place to learn skills for life.

We are tending to only help our young ones to manage when they’re getting closer to crisis point. Let’s give them the tools to cope before they need them and when they need them. An invisible tool kit to manage the ups and downs of life.

Please call or email for more information.
