The Breathing Studio

Had a fantastic time with Jackie last night listening to the superb guitarists Antonio Forcione and Giorgio Serci.
They even played a track I first heard in 1979 when I saw John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucia and Larry Corryell at RA Hall with my friend Nigel Milton

It was lovely to spend some time at Duke Of Kent School, Ewhurst, Surrey a few days ago. I have worked with the pupils, teachers and parents a few times previously focusing on nature therapy and teaching good breathing techniques to maintain optimum physical and mental health.
This visit was to read the story and then practice some of the mindful nature exercises in their beautiful grounds. I am pleased to say, The Forest's Secret: Helping Children To Discover The Magic Of Nature was well received as were the exercises. Thank you

I really enjoyed talking on Noel McDermott's Wellbeing Show last night. We spoke about the restorative benefits of spending time in nature for children and how this is carried forward into adulthood. As you can see, my mature Bernese boys benefit from their time in nature too. We also touched on how my new book not only supports children but how it also provides creative ideas and science based evidence that the children's care-givers can use.

Some great coverage on the topic of getting Children into Nature to help with behaviours, anxiety and emotional regulation across some of the Northern Counties this weekend in  Times,  Times, @ Cumbrian Times and the  Post. Such an important subject that needs more discussion and educational support.

Nature Nurtures Happier Kids; Nature Games For You & Your Family

Personally, I am grateful to nature for helping my two adopted daughters through their childhood, young adult and now adults stages as well as our family as a whole. The neglect they suffered and in one daughter's case. having the challenges of being autistic, adhd, having mild-learning difficulties and epilepsy, nature was so important to helping us as a family meet these challenges and allow us all to grow and thrive.
