Just posting some photos from a beautiful late January walk in Beach House Park. We were connecting to the early signs of spring - what we could see, hear, smell and touch.

At the end we created a group word picture of our experience.

SAY SAY SAY

Say spring is springing out of the bareness under the tickle tree,
Say that hidden in the bark, hidden in the nodules are faces and frogs.
The early spring air is perfumed,
The tiny little mouse is finding it’s house,
The chubby squirrel is busy nesting,
Winged ones calling and flying around, welcoming us to this place.
A carpet of colour emerges, showing the signs of spring,
New bulbs awakening throughout the park.
The stillness of the day with sunshine bursting through.
When I was sleeping I heard the grass growing.
Say - spring is springing out!

Created by the group.
Beach House Park 29th January 2026

By the end of the walk people felt peaceful, relaxed, grounded, content, energised, grateful, regenerated and connected.

With huge thanks to for funding these nature, health and wellbeing walks.

Our first nature connection walk of the year! The storm had just passed and a group of people braved the cold and the last drops of rain to walk along the coast connecting to wind, sea, sky and gulls. We were gifted the beauty of the sun setting through the clouds.

As we came to the end of our time together people felt calm, settled, relaxed and grateful.

"Even though it was very cold it was lovely to be outside enjoying nature!"
"Wild Gathering has given me a deeper insight into life and nature."

Gratitude to for funding these walks.

As the first harvest is gathered we are sharing information about this autumn offering of myth, soma and ceremony by Siân and Rhonda.

Over four days and three nights we'll share a gentle and transformative time in community - supporting one another as we open our hearts to the truth of this moment. We will deepen into the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna through storytelling, movement, creative practices, ceremony and time on the land. Asking ourselves - what can we 'hear' when we step away from the distractions of our everyday lives?

Thursday 9th October - Sunday 12th October 2025, held in the beautiful setting of Ham Green House, Pill, near Bristol. £425 or £350 for current NA students.

For more information contact info@naturalacademy.org

Ronda is a nature-based practitioner, author, therapist, teacher, guide and co-founder of Natural Academy.

Siân is a nature-based practitioner, therapist, teacher and storyteller.

Yesterday was the first in a series of nature connection walks funded by - thank you, the funding is very much appreciated.

We spent time in Longcroft Park and Whitebeam Woods listening to birdsong. We heard blackcap, wren, great spotted woodpecker, robin, great tit, blackbird, bluetit, nuthatch, song thrush and wood pigeon. What gift that was.

People said they felt serene, peaceful, relaxed, restful, sleepy and regenerated when we finished our two hour walk.
