There is a growing body of research that attests to the health and wellbeing benefits of spending time in nature. Simply be ing in nature is insufficient, what matters most is our relationship to and connection with nature- i.e., how we think about, feel about, and ex perience nature. Nature connection is more than simply being in or havin g a functional relationship with nature but rather involves a deeper res pect, appreciation and caring for it. This nature connectedness walk wil l provide an opportunity for us to enhance our nature connectedness thro ugh engaging in simple mindfulness and nature connection practices. For further information on the science, benefits and practice of nature conn ectedness please see the “Nature Connectedness Research Group” at th e University of Derby, UK. (www.derby.ac.uk/research/centres-groups/natu re-connectedness-research-group/). This activity will be undertaken in t he Aranda/Black Mountain Nature Reserves.
