Testimonials:

‘I’m an Italian researcher and teacher committed to reconnecting children to Nature and reconciling our frenetic life with nature-based rhythms. I was looking for a course that could provide me with approaches to introduce nature education at school. I found Roots and Wings’ wonderful “Mindful Nature Education” course, which also included indications for mindfulness practice. The lectures are well structured and include many additional resources which can be downloaded and are ready to use, which I found very helpful for my teaching practice. Thanks so much Alex for your expertise and guidance.’

-Elisa Cagnelutti

 ‘The Mindful Nature Education course is excellent. The content is presented extremely well and the platform is very easy to engage with on a mobile device as well as laptop. The variety of tasks within the course are varied and it provides a consistently high quality of learning throughout. The resources included are wonderful and support the content perfectly. I work in Higher Education, training Secondary School teachers in England, and the content of the course is extremely transferable for the 11+ age group. Alex is a joy to engage with, she has been so helpful and supportive as I have worked through the course and her advice on other courses offered is wonderful. I thoroughly recommend Roots and Wings, and I look forward to continuing my learning journey with them. Thank you, Alex – this is a wonderful course!’
