Weekend with nature ~ how we spent our days outside!

After a winter of deep burrowing it felt soooo good to be back out side amongst nature for 2 full days this weekend.

I'm so grateful the warmer weather is here!

Beautiful morning spent up at Macclesfield forest on Saturday, I went in the search of 2 pines - as John Muir said "between every 2 pines is a doorway to a new world" so it felt like the perfect spot for cacao and the meditation I wanted to 'do'.

Sunday morning, after Skye's besties birthday party (we've started a (local) trend of celebrating our dogs birthday - it's so much fun and a good excuse to have a hot cuppa and treat whilst the dogs wrestle and play!)

It was then on to the nature space to do some preparation for the new season. The other week I had some help from those who completed The Elements of Wellbeing journey with the hedgecutting (it's looking mighty fine still). This week I created a new rose bed and we installed a new herb planter that my dad had made that now needs filling! Helpers welcome!

It was extra special to plant the roses on International Womens Day, bringing their heart healing, feminine energy and beauty into the space. Fingers crossed they are happy in their new home.

Rounded off by mum's roast dinner, before being on a guest panel at Nature & Therapy IWW celebations which was a nourishing way to end a wonderful nature filled weekend.

I'd love to hear what you got upto in nature this weekend?
Let me know in comments or over message.
Are you spending more time outdoors now the weather is slowly warming up?

Amanda

2026 Opening The Land ✨

You are warmly invited to join me for a gentle morning to pause, give thanks to nature, and open the season together.

Honouring this land that holds and support all that have been and will gather here.

Nature gifts us so much and so it is so deeply important to give thanks and show respect to nature in this way. This is very much the practice I hold in my heart, and everyday amongst the noise of this world I have to continuously return to these ways so not to be distracted by the unnatural ways of the world today.

And so, as the season begins to turn and the first signs of spring start to appear, we’ll gather to welcome the return of the sun, warmer days, and a new year of gatherings in this beautiful space.

An opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and spend quiet time in nature - offering gratitude for the winter season before gently turning towards the months of growth ahead.

We’ll begin by gathering around the fire with a warming cup of ceremonial cacao, before slowly walking the land together in reflection and offering.

Gentle flow for the morning:
✨opening with gratitude around the fire
✨ceremonial cacao with heart-connection practice
✨2026 intentions & gratitude tree
✨ gentle walk on the land
✨ short introduction to the Elements of Wellbeing & 2026 offerings
✨ connecting in heart-led community

You are warmly welcome 💚

"Be Brave"

"Be brave ~ we as nature guides (and this goes out to everyone following, or wanting to answer the call to follow, their heart's path) are playing such an important role in paving the way for humanity to remember and return to nature, to harmony, to a peaceful rhythm. Don't shy away from planting your seeds of change, starting new conversations or putting on your 'wild' ideas, offerings out into the world. Know that you are not alone, there's a forest of nature warriors standing by your side cheering you on".

These are (close to) the words that I shared last week at a masterclass I held with for where I shared about my journey setting up a nature based business and offered my top tips and biggest learnings over the last 5-6 years.

It was an absolutely joy to gather with close to 50 passionate beings who were also running nature-based businesses, in forest-therapy training or interested to begin their journey.

Topics that came up were around confidence, pricing, building audience, practicalities with working outside. It was lovely to be able to support those starting up and to offer space for conversation and sharing within the community. It's been lovely to contact with many of you since too.

That evening reminded me of how much I adore supporting others on their journey into heart-led and nature-based work and how important it is to act together as Mother Earth's nature warriors working on her behalf. It's going to take an army of us to create the ripple of change that is needed here on earth.

Photos are a flash back to my first weekend forest-bathing training in October 2019, how much has changed since then! Thankfully I've got a little better at selfies too!! I get to do 'work' that I adore, genuinely make a different to people's lives and meet the most amazing people... it's a long way from the fashion world I once knew.

👉 I'm holding a "Reaching Your Audience" Online Workshop for Nature-Based Facilitators on 10th March ~ a 2 hr deep dive so come ready to work! Link in bio to join or DM "NATURE"

Happy New Lunar Year! 🐴🦌✨

I'm sending you so much love & strength to embrace all this cycle is to be for you.

May you carry the courage & free spirit of the wild horse in your heart & the quiet strength & divine knowing of the deer in your spirit as you walk your path this cycle.

A slow return having taken a 5day pause for Wayeb "the time between time" in one of the Mayan calendars (the deer is the animal energy for this year in Mayan beliefs). It was a little impromptu, I'd been feeling called to honour this time as it approached & in honesty I really missed Guatemala & wished to be there.

So I reminded myself that I had everything I need to create ceremony, rituals & sacred pause. From Saturday to Wednesday I stepped into stillness (no phone, no radio, no noise). Taking space to be, to contemplate & sit in daily ceremony with daily themes.

It has been so very special & so very needed. Supporting me with stepping deeper into devotion of my practice (an intention of mine for this year).

Wayeb, is a 5-day window of days that fall between the calendars, one cycle has ended & the next hasn't yet begun. It offers a beautiful opportunity to give thanks for all that has been, to cleanse, release the old, welcome in the energy of the new cycle & sow seeds for what you wish to receive over the next.

It's helped me to let go of those parts that hold me back, get even clearer on the year ahead & be reminded of the difference it makes to be in daily devotion - to how I feel internally which in turn supports me externally.

But it's more importantly cemented how effective or productive taking this time for 'nothing' is.

Pausing to be, to reflect, notice, listen within & without, brings clarity of intention & inner knowing which in turn supports direction, focus, decisions. By taking this space to tune in you're able to focus your 'doing' time on what really matters. I know we know this! But in today's world of distractions having the reminder is so very needed.

I step forward with dedication to my knowing that this way not only feeds the soul but helps me to walk in honour of my heart's path.

Sending you love to walk as you know within.

✨ The Elements of Wellbeing ~next programme ✨

A 7-week online group programme to build strong wellbeing foundations as we move from winter into spring 🌱

This is a gentle, supportive space to recentre, regulate and reconnect before the year gets busy.

Guided by nature’s wisdom and grounded nervous system support.

Elements of Wellbeing weaves together:
• meditation
• breath practices for health
• nature connection
• reflective coaching tools

It’s designed to:
🌿 meet you exactly where you are and support what you need most right now
🌿 help you find calm, clarity and steadiness amidst stress, change or overwhelm
🌿 build resilience through practical tools you can return to again and again
🌿 support realistic, nourishing wellbeing routines - without pressure or perfection

Suitable for beginners and those experienced alike.

Together, we’ll journey through the elements - Roots, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Spirit & Branches - reconnecting with nature’s rhythms to support your nervous system, restore balance, and gently bring you back home to yourself.

This programme has been recently supported through a research-informed pilot. It’s not a quick fix - it’s a spacious, nature-led approach to wellbeing that fits real life and is full of heart.

🌱 Online small group programme
🗓 Starts end February
✨ Limited spaces available

The Elements of Wellbeing pilot - the reflective blog & full report is live!🤩

This report holds the stories, the shifts, the data, and the lived experience of a group of women who chose to pause, turn towards themselves, and tend to their wellbeing during one of the busiest and most demanding times of the year - as they headed into the festive season.

Across six weeks, they explored the elements of nature with evidence-based practices rooted in breath, meditation, nature connection and reflection.

Not to fix themselves, but to remember how to support themselves with love and understanding.

What emerged was powerful:
🤩 increased calm & steadiness
🤩 deeper connection to self& nature
🤩 stronger confidence in maintaining wellbeing practices
🤩 significant shifts in overall wellbeing (even in the run-up to Christmas)

Watching these women soften, steady, and reconnect affirmed that when support is accessible, compassionate and grounded, people find their way back to themselves from within.

👉The full report is available to read via the blog 📘🤓
www.letsstepin.com/blog/four

And… I’m welcoming participants for the next Elements of Wellbeing programme -offered in small group or 1:1 formats.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, depleted, or quietly knowing it’s time to care for yourself more deeply, you’re very welcome here.

✨ Register your interest to join the next programme as a gentle first step to begin a journey of transformation from within.

With love,

Amanda

A Conversation - Setting Up A Nature-Based Business 🌿

📆Wednesday 18th February
⏰19:00 - 20:00
📍Online

I am delighted to be chatting with , the founder of where I began my forest-bathing training in 2019, and where I'm now lead mentor and moderator on the level 2 stage of the forest-therapy diploma course.

I am super excited that there's already over 40 gorgeous nature-loving humans joining us!

I'll be sharing learnings from over the last 6 years, best practices that have worked well, and what's not!

Stefan is a dear friend, and a wonderful teacher, if you haven't met him before this will be a great opportunity to hear of his experience with setting up a leading UK training school and enjoy the wonderful balance he holds of being deeply wise yet light and fun!

I really wish for this to be a rich space for discussion and community contribution as we all support each other through sharing our lessons, challenges and tips to help each other succeed in our nature-based work.

Sharing in this masterclass builds on my passion for supporting and encouraging nature-based facilitators to trust in their self, lead from their heart, and create a sustainable, strong business. Believing in their value and the much needed role they play to bring the change that is so needed in the world today.

We'd love to see you there!
