Could you pause and notice a leaf?

Sometimes the simplest moments bring the deepest calm. Out in the woods, we often begin by holding a leaf to our hearts—just breathing, feeling its cool texture, letting the world slow down for a minute.

You don’t need a forest for this. Try it in your garden, on a walk, or even with a houseplant. Notice its colour, shape, the way it feels in your hand. See what shifts inside you when you give yourself this small pause.

Curious to try this with others? Join our next Wellness Circle and reconnect with nature—and yourself.

Real voices, real change—in the woods.

What happens when a child who’s anxious about making friends sits beside a log circle, surrounded by gentle laughter and birdsong? Or when a parent, feeling overwhelmed, finds a moment of quiet with their feet on mossy ground?

This is what Living Nature CIC is all about—community, belonging, and small moments of healing. One mum told us, “My daughter comes home calmer and more confident every time.” An educator shared, “I see children open up here in ways I never thought possible.”

Every story matters. If you’ve joined us, your experience might be the encouragement someone else needs.

Could you pause for just one minute?

Most of us rush from one thing to the next, barely noticing the world around us—especially as the days grow shorter. But what if a moment outdoors could help you (and your family) feel calmer, more connected, and a little lighter?

Next time you’re outside, try this: stop and gently touch a leaf or tree. Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply. Notice the textures, the scents, the way sunlight filters through. Let nature remind you: it’s okay to slow down.

Small pauses like this can help ease stress, support children’s focus, and bring us back to ourselves—even on the busiest days. 🌱

If you’d like more simple nature-based wellbeing ideas, or want to join our next community session, message us or visit livingnatureuk.org.

You’re always welcome here.

Toadstool Corner is growing! 🍄

On Sunday, our wonderful volunteers came together to help us care for and shape this special little corner of land.

Together we:
🌱 Cleared a new patch that could one day become a community garden
🪴 Fixed up the compost area and planted bluebells for spring
🔥 Tidied and made the fire area safer
🌾 Created artful dead hedging using fallen branches and natural materials

It was such a joy to see the Learning Hub children’s excitement when they returned today — to know that the wider Living Nature community had been here, tending the land and helping it come to life.

We also discovered a small natural water flow, which we’re now shaping into a mini wildlife pond 🐸 inviting more biodiversity into the space.

Our tool area is feeling safer, and we’ve started mapping ideas for future learning zones — from a woodwork area and nature observation corner, to a fairy glen and arts and crafts space.

Every visit adds a new layer to this growing project.
It’s amazing what can happen when community, creativity, and care come together. 💚

What do you see in a fallen leaf?

Sometimes, it’s just a soggy oak leaf in your hand. But sometimes, it’s a story waiting to be named—Sophie? Jeff? Or maybe something only you can see. In these little woodland moments, we remember: there’s no right way to belong here, only your way.

Every session at Toadstool Corner or Werneth Low Country Park is filled with laughter, questions, and the gentle magic of noticing together. You don’t have to know all the answers—you just have to show up, as you are.

Curious to experience it for yourself? Message us to join our next Wellness Circle or Kids’ Club. 🍂

See you in the woods.

A quiet, thoughtful day at the Living Nature Learning Hub.

We spent time making signs, sharing ideas, and dreaming about what this little patch of land might become.

There’s a calm kind of magic in starting small — one corner, one conversation, one sign at a time. 🌿

We talked about the future: a space that grows with the community, perhaps three days a week one day, with adults learning here too. Maybe a bell tent or mini yurt tucked among the trees, a place that feels alive with curiosity and possibility.

The vision is gentle but powerful — a place inspired by Sudbury Valley and Free to Learn philosophies, where education feels natural, self-directed, and connected to real life.

We’re not in a rush.

Just growing the way nature does — slowly, season by season, led by those who call this space home. 🍃

Ever wondered what’s behind our woodland magic?

Here’s a little glimpse into the heart of Living Nature CIC—where every session starts with muddy boots, mindful planning, and a dash of wild curiosity. That’s me (Josie!), when I was spending time at the Green School in Bali to learn about creating this very venture, and yes, that’s a real spider hitching a ride. Nature always has surprises in store.

Every detail—right down to the creatures we meet—matters here. We set up each circle, gather materials, and hold space for whatever the day brings. Whether it’s a creative arts project or a mindful moment under the trees, our focus is always on connection, safety, and fun.

Curious to see what goes on or thinking of joining us? Message me or visit our website to find out about upcoming sessions and how you or your family can get involved. 🌱

Let’s make space for calm, play, and community—together.

Ever tried a one-minute nature pause?

Most of us rush through our days, barely noticing the world outside. But what if a simple moment outdoors could help you feel calmer, more present—even on your busiest days?

Next time you step outside (even if it’s just your garden or the school run), pause. Notice the feeling of the air on your skin, the colours around you, the sounds you usually tune out. Breathe slowly, just for a minute. That’s it—no special tools needed, just a moment of mindful noticing.

Curious how these tiny pauses can add up to real wellbeing? Join us at Living Nature CIC for gentle, creative sessions rooted in the outdoors. Message to find out more or book your spot. 🌱

🍁 Leave the Leaves 🍁

Nature doesn’t waste a thing.
Every fallen leaf has a purpose — a resting place for insects, a blanket for the soil, and nourishment for new growth in spring.

It’s a quiet reminder that letting go isn’t the end of something, but the beginning of renewal.

Just like the trees, we too have seasons of release. The parts of us that fall away — old habits, identities, expectations — feed the ground for what’s next to grow.

So this autumn, resist the urge to tidy everything away.
Let the leaves lie. Let the mess and the magic coexist.
Trust that what falls will one day return as life. 🌿

🍁 Wellness Club Highlights 🍁

What a beautiful week it’s been — new faces joining us, and familiar ones returning.
The woods have been alive with laughter, clay-covered hands, and quiet moments of noticing.

🌳 We built dens and played woodland hide-and-seek.
🐿️ We discovered a squirrel playground in the trees.
☀️ We walked in the autumn sunshine.
🎨 We shaped clay, told stories of the Guardians of the Earth, and sang songs that made us smile.

Through it all, we talked about change — what scares us, what helps us feel brave, what we’re proud of, and what we’re ready to let go of — just like the leaves. 🍂

This is what we mean by Living Nature:
being together, noticing, listening, and learning from the land and each other.

💚 Thank you to every child who brought your creativity, kindness, and curiosity. You make these days what they are.

Big gratitude for our wonderful helpers today at the Hub! 💚 Together we added a roof to our compost toilet, fixed up our dead hedge fence, and created a beautiful new fire pit circle. The energy from the kids was infectious—so much laughter, teamwork, and creativity in the woods.

It’s days like these that remind us what community is all about. Thank you to everyone who showed up, got muddy, and made magic happen with us.
