Experiential opportunities
We provide community-focused, low-cost sessions for adults who meet at the woodland on a Wednesday morning for 2-3 hours. The health and wellbeing benefits to be gained are numerous, gained through experiential learning opportunities.
‘Wild Stillness’ Retreats
Spend time in the tranquil woodland being gently guided to connect with and immerse yourself in nature to benefit your wellbeing. Slowing down quietens racing thoughts and makes space for a sense of stillness that can deliver much in the way of emotional restoration and rebalancing. The Wild Stillness sessions are very suitable for people who are experiencing anxiety or overwhelm.
Level 2 Accredited training
The Agored Cymru Level 2 ‘Supporting Wellbeing In Nature’ provides opportunities for deepening knowledge about nature connection, in relation to ‘self’ and supporting others to benefit their health and wellbeing through spending time in a nature environment.
Level 3 Accredited training
The Agored Cymru Level 3 ‘Wellbeing In Nature Practitioner’ qualification provides the necessary theoretical depth of understanding, together with the practial tools necessary to run therapeutically-informed sessions utilising nature connection. The training is delivered in a blended format, some at the woodland and some online. There is also a requirement to run 6 sessions in your own setting.
Nature based wellbeing and professional training pathways
Outdoor Tribe CIC has been operating since 2016, during which time we have developed much in terms of experience and expertise in the field that has seen exponential growth of interest since 2020, that of utilising nature connection for wellbeing.
Our face to face sessions focus on supporting people to discover nature-connection ways they find meaningful and beneficial to their general health and wellbeing.
We were involved in the development of the Agored Cymru Level 2 and Level 3 ‘Wellbeing in Nature’ qualifications and now deliver both at our Northamptonshire base, alongside existing non-accredited activity/training options suitable for both adults and younger people.
Whether running our community Wellbeing In Nature sessions, Wild Stillness retreats or accredited training, we have exclusive access to a tranquil 20-acre ancient woodland, completely surrounded by fields; an oasis of calm and tranquility.
The location of the woodland is just off the A6116 between Thrapston and Corby, a mile from the village of Sudborough.
