Training Days at EAL Richmond

Dose of Nature holds a training day at Richmond EAL Friendship Group

A couple of weeks ago, we ran a workshop with Richmond EAL (English as an Additional Language) Friendship Group.

The members shared memories of times they had enjoyed in natural environments in their own countries, and compared their past experiences with their current ones in the UK.

They learnt about the mental health benefits of nature and the research evidence and robust science supporting nature's benefits to wellbeing. They also looked at different ways of increasing their own connection with nature and had fun examining nature's fractals, sniffing nature's phytoncides, listening to nature's sounds and feeling its textures.

Thank you Richmond EAL, we hope you enjoyed this workshop as much as we did.
