Nicolette Evans: Nature Works Wonders (ep04)
“People forget how to walk slowly and to notice nature. People just run around too fast. And literally walk to fast and just don’t see what’s under their feet and in front of them as well. And when people slow down their pace and notice those things then it just distracts us from people’s, what else people going on in their lives as well and takes them to a different level as well.”

IIn this episode I welcome Nicolette Evans, facilitator of mindful nature walks in woods, forests and green spaces around Berkshire, and guide on ways to reconnect with the healing power of ‘being in nature’ to boost mental and physical health.
In our episode we talk about why we need nature, what happens when we’re outdoor, how we can use modern technology to enhance nature connectedness and why making a pause is rewarding.
