Intention

Lead the group to an area with natural niches, such as gaps between roots, hollows in trees or nooks among rocks.

The heart of nature

At the end of a walk or session, gather the group and show them a heart shaped box.

Tender touch

Find a natural object nearby, such as a leaf, a piece of bark or a stone.

Scentimental

Think of a scent connected to nature that brings up a strong memory or feeling for you, such as fresh cut grass, rain on dry earth, or a particular flower.

Reverence?

Find a natural feature that inspires a sense of awe in you, such as a large old tree, a wide view, a flowing stream or the night sky.

Once upon a stone

Choose a stone that catches your eye and look closely at its colour, texture, layers and shape.

“Thank you”

Visit your sit spot, or spend some quiet time in a natural space you know well.

Silver linings

Write a list of things in the natural world that you dislike or fear, such as rain, darkness, cold, snakes or horseflies.

Gratitude scavenger hunt

Choose a safe natural area such as a park, woodland or garden where the group can explore freely.
