At the same time, we're drawn to want to spend time outdoors and in natural environments, and we have a deep sense of ease when connected to nature. So why is it so hard?</p><p><br></p><p>In this week's thow-back episode, we explore the inconvenience of nature connection in a modern world and the many ways that our ways of living keep us in separation - sometimes isolation - from the natural world. We explore the impact of a sedentary, indoor lifestyle on our physical, emotional and spiritual health; explore how connecting to nature is infinitely good for our holistic wellbeing - as well as supporting the health of the natural world in return - and reflect on the many different ways to welcome more nature connection into our lives and learning spaces.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode we reference the following:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.kitchengarden.co.uk/third-of-uk-spend-less-than-15-minutes-a-day-outdoors/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Time in Nature report</a> - Eden Project (website)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/services/media/childrens-urgent-call-more-time-in-nature-essential\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">National Trust nature connection report </a>(website)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.england.nhs.uk/personalisedcare/social-prescribing/green-social-prescribing/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Green Social Prescribing - NHS </a>(website)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.harperreach.com/products/harmony-a-new-way-of-looking-at-our-world-his-majesty-king-charles-iiitony-juniperian-skelly-9780007348039/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony - HRH Prince of Wales </a>(Book)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.theharmonyproject.org.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Harmony Project </a>(website &amp; learning resources)</li><li><a href=\"https://sustainablesoils.org/about-soils/soils-and-public-health\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Soil &amp; Public Health - Soils Association </a>(website)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.forestryengland.uk/blog/forest-bathing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Guide to forest bathing - Forestry England</a> (website)</li></ul><p><br></p>","author_name":"ThoughtBox Education"}
