Step Into The Wild - Therapy in nature with Sam Addy

10/04/2026

I am not “ace” at “bigging myself up” - something I’m working on, right! - We all need to be our own cheerleaders ❤️

Below are my learning achievements from over the past 4 years. Part of qualifying as a counsellor and being a part of my accredited membership with the means I agreed to always have my mind open to, and be seeking further learning development avenues. I’ve recently had some very exciting news - I’ve been accepted on Place2Be - Level 5 Certificate in Working Therapeutically with Children and Young People in Schools. I’ll be starting in September! - Equal amounts nervous and excited 🥰
As always, any chance of success will mean leaning on family and friends for support, I’m very very lucky to have an amazing bunch ❤️

In the meantime I’ve a lovely short CPD course to keep me occupied - Nature Connectedness with the University of Derby 💃🏻☀️

Yesterdays “coming down” activity after such a busy, fun weekend. A swim in here whilst listening to the birds and basking in the glorious sunshine. I know that I need to factor these activities into my life to keep my anxiety and C-PTSD in check.
Anyone want to share or recommend their natural activities or remedies that help with their mental health? I’m always up for suggestions!

In anticipation of what can be a busy weekend for some, I thought I’d take advantage of a beautiful afternoon at the farm to pause for a moment and share with you.

What a fabulous day we had Saturday. ❤️ looking forward to the next one!

We breathed out our winter energy and negativity out into the earth. Were held by strong trees. Revitalised and grounded by the mud and the stream. Connected with souls we felt we’d always known. Drank birch sap. Rolled down the hill. Ate a stunning foraged soup from the campfire made by the The Plant Deli. Partook in Breath work, yoga, poetry and meditation. Planted seeds and spring intentions. Wished each other “happy new year”. Enjoyed the sunset and then the early evening night sky - deers, hares and bats. And finally the stunning crescent moon and stars as we were leaving. What an absolute do! 🤩❤️

Now…where’s that sun gone???!!!

Today’s the day!

Happy Spring Equinox!

Tomorrow our The Plant Deli Lucy is going to be cooking up a delicious spring foraged soup and handmade bread for you to enjoy after our ‘woodland bathing’. All cooked up on the campfire. We were lucky to have these beauty boys come and help us gather our wood up for it! 🤩

Please try and remeber to bring a mug for your soup. A towel if you want to splash in the stream with us (swimwear if you want to get right in), good footwear as we’re on uneven ground, blanket for if you want to get cozy for sunset and water for drinking.
We’re really looking forward to “stepping into the wild” with you ❤️

Oh what a glorious day! ☀️ the forecast for Saturday is looking similar also 🤩, which is adding to our excitement for Saturdays event - https://m.facebook.com/events/1265875915476458/?

Our Lucy Rae is busy in the garden getting our sunflower seeds ready for our “planting part” of the event. We thought it would be nice addition to our event, planting a seed - especially one that symbolises fertility and growth and of course sunshine!
She’s also been out for some much loved wild garlic ready for nourishing our bellies from the camp fire.

Please let us know if you’d like to come along. Even if you can’t stay for the whole event, and especiallu don’t let money be a barrier. Our aim is to create a community celebration in nature that’s accessible for everyone ❤️

There’s sap!!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all the amazing mothers in the world ❤️

Yesterday we revelled in the glorious sunshine and took ourselves down into the woods to do some “practice run” sap tapping.
We’ll be drinking a toast to ‘Spring’ with our ‘tapped’ birch sap as a part of our equinox celebration next Saturday.
This particular window of time is the only time you can ‘tap for sap’ in the UK which makes it feel even more special.

Here’s some info on the benefits for you…

Birch sap (or birch water) is a nutrient-rich, low-calorie spring tonic packed with manganese, antioxidants, and electrolytes (potassium, calcium). It supports detoxification of the liver and kidneys, aids in hydration, reduces inflammation, and promotes skin health through collagen production, making it a popular seasonal health beverage.

We finished off our adventure with a sneak peek at the super cute little lambs ❤️ leaving us feeling oh so spring.

Super excited to be teaming up with our Lucy from The Plant Deli to deliver this beauty spring equinox celebration - our first community focused retreat. An immersive sensory experience in nature to help you breathe, bring some inner peace, stretch and “spring” into Spring.
Everyone welcome - pay as you feel.
