FREE ASSESSMENT

Unfurling fresh thinking: bringing nature connection and participatory design into how teams think, plan and connect.

Helen works with organisations and teams, working with nature as a resource for reflection, creativity and team development. Her toolkit centres on nature connection and forest bathing -from the Japanese Shinrin Yoku- a practice of slowing down and mindfully connecting with nature- combined with design thinking and participatory creative approaches. This is drawn together from more than 20 years of experience in the charity and social enterprise sectors, including seven years as a charity Executive Director. In her facilitation work, she aims to create the conditions for people to think expansively and connect with what matters. She finds nature a valuable partner in this - working with rather than just in nature to open conversations that are hard to have in a typical meeting room.
