Wild Wellbeing is an ecotherapy organisation that runs walks, nature-connection workshops and one-to-one mentoring – all based in outdoor, natural settings. It is run by Caroline White, a Brighton-based ecopsychologist.

Wild Wellbeing workshops are held at Sacred Earth, near Horam, or the ecotherapy plots in Stanmer Park, Brighton. They include nature connection activities (sit spots, sensory exercises, creative work) and discussion around a specific theme. Examples of previous topics include eco-anxiety, grief, fear of the dark and the Celtic history of Sussex.

Caroline also runs Sussex Mindful Walks – which does what is says on the tin! The walks take place in rural locations that are accessible by public transport. They include mindfulness and nature-connection exercises, with a mix of group chat and individual quiet time.

Caroline’s mission is to improve people’s wellbeing by developing their connection with the natural world around them. Many of us know that being outdoors makes us feel better, but the benefits of facilitated time in nature go even deeper. With the right guidance, it can become a mirror for our inner worlds; unlocking our creative potential and helping us negotiate the most difficult periods in our lives.
