Through experiencing the difficulties that anxiety can bring within daily life, walking in nature provided a way of inviting these emotions in, to sit with them sheltered by the trees for a while to respect and honour them rather than to push them away. Acknowledging like the changing of the seasons their impermanence and embracing their toughness through tenderness. 

In my creative practice I centre these personal experiences of communing with nature. I look to engage with our sensory relationship with nature through a curiosity of how mindfulness approaches, such as somatic dance, and regenerative methods can benefit our health and connection to the Earth. As well as providing a space for difficult emotions such as anxiety to be better understood and eased, and to be given a place for emotions to be heard and healed.
