Final Episode: Death and Renewal (S2E9)

Saison 2 · Épisode 9

vendredi 18 mars 2022 • Durée 41:01

Welcome to the final (ever?) episode of Nature Therapy Online - The Podcast.

Over the last (almost) two years, recording this podcast has been a therapy for me as much as it has been for the lovely people who have sent me such encouraging emails about the show. (You know who you are!)

It is, however, time for me to move on to other nature therapy projects. Ecotherapy is my job but the podcast has been very much a labour of love, and I need to make a bit of room in my life for other labours of love now! The wonderful thing about podcasts is how they remain online and available…I know that people will find these episodes for many years to come and that makes it feel like such a worthwhile project.

I may still record occasional episodes in the future. Perhaps I will even record another whole season if the urge comes upon me one day….or perhaps I’ll never record a podcast again. Who knows! But thank you so much for listening and I hope you keep in touch.

For the final episode, we will walk in the forest and ponder death and renewal. I hope you enjoy it, friends.

Thanks again for listening and remember to always make time for Nature.

Our Place in the World (Taking in a View) (S2E8)

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

vendredi 28 janvier 2022 • Durée 47:15

In this episode of the ecotherapy podcast, we explore the power of a good view. I invite you to connect with a special view as we take a mindful walk together.

For this episode, I took a walk in my village in Midlothian, Scotland, and I took in a view that mesmerises me. On a clear day, for miles into the distance, I can see forest, sea, mountains, hills and the magnificent city of Edinburgh. The feelings that arise in me when being present with this mighty view are inexplicable. There is just this sense of smallness and of true connection. A sense of truly being a part of this, not a separate self looking upon a picture from the outside. I also ponder on the many associations (personal and cultural) that can arise when there is so much to take in.

I hope you enjoy this episode of the nature therapy podcast, friends!

Episode 42. Season 1 Finale.

Saison 1 · Épisode 42

vendredi 16 avril 2021 • Durée 15:01

Episode 42 of the Nature Therapy Online podcast is the last of this season before I take a two-month break! As I record the podcast, I watch the sun setting over the Pentland Hills as the Sun sets on Season 1. Click on the slim black player above to listen.

I will be back with a refreshed and new season at the end of June, friends. Please tune in to listen to my thoughts about the future of the podcast. It will return, but in a different form. To figure out what changes need to take place, I need a break from the project to reflect and take stock.

In the meantime, if you have enjoyed this season and you miss the weekly episodes, please do go back to the beginning and listen all over again. Practising ecotherapy is not something that we consume once and then move on from. It is a practice, and a way of being. Episodes that didn’t speak to you the first time may well feel different the second time around. Nature is constantly changing, and so are our perceptions.

The theme of this week’s ecotherapy podcast episode is the beauty of the Sun setting and rising each day. When was the last time that you deliberately watched the Sun setting or rising?

Thank you so much for tuning in this far folks. I will be back at the end of June. Take care for now!

Green smiles,

Episode 41: Daniel Allison Interview

Saison 1 · Épisode 41

vendredi 9 avril 2021 • Durée 40:18

In this week’s ecotherapy podcast, I am thrilled to present an interview with author and storyteller Daniel Allison.

Daniel is a great talent — his gentle and moody style of storytelling captures the heart and imagination, and even more so when he tells nature myths, which account for a lot of his work. Daniel specialises in sharing Scottish myths and legends with the world. Daniel even shares a powerful story about ‘the most beautiful song in the forest’, and I encourage you all to tune in and experience this beautiful tale (beautifully told).

To find out more about all of Daniel’s fiction, podcast and live storytelling, visit him at https://www.houseoflegends.me

I hope you enjoy this week’s ecotherapy podcast folks — it’s the penultimate episode before Season 1 of the podcast ends and I take a break until the Summer! Enjoy.

Episode 40: Shifting Attention

Saison 1 · Épisode 40

vendredi 2 avril 2021 • Durée 14:49

In episode 40 of the nature therapy podcast, I talk about our lazy minds when it comes to nature-connection, and how to shift our attention to notice the new.

It’s something that I try to do as often as I can when I’m outdoors; notice what my mind seems to be pre-programmed to pay attention to, and deliberately shift my attention in other directions. Notice it next time you are on a walk somewhere you go regularly, or even just sitting still outdoors. My bet is that you will be drawn to the same — or similar — things every time you are in a familiar setting.

For example, if I notice that every time I walk down my street I look at the ivy growing up my neighbour’s house, I shift my attention to another part of the street. That’s not to say I will never look at the ivy of course! I just try my best, at least occasionally, to challenge my mind’s tendency to only look at one part of the picture. Great things can be revealed this way! Tune in to find out more — and to listen to some lovely local birds with me!

Episode 39. Spring and Growth.

Saison 1 · Épisode 39

vendredi 26 mars 2021 • Durée 17:17

In episode 39 of the nature therapy podcast, I share some thoughts and feelings around the mighty season of Spring, and I offer you a simple ecotherapy exercise to try inspired by the season.

Despite our individual responses to seasons based upon our personal life stories, few can deny that there is something inherently uplifting and positive about more light, and more growth. In the spirit of the Spring arriving (even though the Scottish wind had me wearing two jackets whilst recording the podcast!), I invite you to go on a little ‘growth’ walk, specifically looking for - and bonding with - signs of growth from nature. Please let me know how you get on with this if you do it, and I hope you enjoy this week’s podcast!

Episode 38—The Buddhist Nun and the White Tiger

Saison 1 · Épisode 38

vendredi 19 mars 2021 • Durée 25:49

This week, I invite you to engage with a story in the way you would engage with a meditation. This is a story meditation—and the story is very close to my heart. It is a story that brings together nature, meditation, an ancient jungle and a modern spiritual teacher.

Zen Master Jiyu Kennet founded the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, and went through so many trials (many of which were a result of her simply being a woman) to bring Soto Zen Buddhism (Serene Reflection Meditation) to the West. In this week’s ecotherapy podcast, I share a powerful story of her link with a white tiger, and the colourful nature of an ancient jungle.

Episode 37—Out in the Darkness

Saison 1 · Épisode 37

vendredi 12 mars 2021 • Durée 14:25

In episode 37 of the nature therapy podcast I go outside at night and ponder on how some very basic, primal (or socially conditioned?) feelings arise when the Earth rotates away from sunlight each day.

For this ecotherapy podcast, I went into my garden at night. I looked over the back wall at the fields and hills, and I listened to the owls (unfortunately you can’t hear them on the podcast….the modest things didn’t want to be recorded). I pondered on how safe I feel here, in my garden, compared to an experience I had recently when I went to my local forest after dark. At times, it was utterly terrifying. When was the last time you deliberately went outside at night? That's what we will explore today.

Episode 36—‘Animal Friend’ Meditation

Saison 1 · Épisode 36

vendredi 5 mars 2021 • Durée 19:05

In episode 36 of the nature therapy podcast I share a nature-based visualisation/meditation with you. Come and meet a special animal friend.

To get the most our of this meditation, listen at a time when you will not be disturbed. Choose a place where you will be comfortable for around 20 minutes. It is one of my favourite meditations where I help you to get you in touch with an animal friend hiding in your subconscious. I hope you enjoy it!

Episode 35—Non-Identification

Saison 1 · Épisode 35

vendredi 26 février 2021 • Durée 16:38

In episode 35 of the nature therapy podcast I talk about the non-identification of Earth’s life. We spend so much of our time giving nature labels and names to identify things, but what happens when we try the opposite?

What happens when we try to calm our minds for a little while, and take a non-identification walk in nature? By this, I mean trying our best to see everything as an expression of life, rather than applying names and ‘facts’ to everything we see; ‘an oak tree’, ‘a sparrow’ etc.

As people, we so often feel that in order to understand things, we need to learn as much as possible about them. Whilst it may be an essential part of being a functioning human being, sometimes it stops us from truly experiencing the wonder of what is in front of us. We can get lost in our identifications and thoughts, and we cease to connect with nature through our senses—as one life form to another.
