Community
We've been involved in community 'wellbeing in the outdoors' programmes and green social prescribing since 2021.
Currently our director - Alison Goodwin - is delivering the Natural Health Service for North Yorkshire - a protected landscape-led, green social prescribing programme until February 2028.
Prior to this we ran
The Nature Connectors programme.

Although we are currently focusing more on other full time projects and Dark Skies experiences at the moment, we can also offer bespoke experiences - subject to availability.
About Alison
Being born and raised in the countryside, Alison is passionate about the natural world and the outdoors. She has seen first hand how being in nature is immensely healing, after suffering an illness that left her bed-ridden at times. When able, she turned to nature for solace, soothing and calming her mind. The experience left her determined to teach others what she had learned.
Since 2002, she's run wellness sessions & nature experiences for universities, NGOs, charities and outdoor experience companies. She's taken people to some of the most stunning areas of the UK on yoga, mindfulness and contemplative walking holidays since 2009. Alison set up Adventures for the Soul - a visitor facing business - in 2019 before branching out to community-based nature-connection sessions in 2021.
Alison holds a degree in Environmental Management and PG Cert in Tourism, Conservation & Sustainable Development. She is a contemplative walks leader; yoga and mindfulness instructor (with stress management and trauma specialism), former Zen Buddhist of many years; a holistic therapy and Reiki Master - as well as being a forest bathing, nature connection and stargazing enthusiast.
