Think Like a Tree - Unlock Nature’s Secrets to Health, Wellbeing and Living a Good Life

Duration: 45mins

Have you ever stood in a forest and marvelled at how healthy, resilient, and long-lasting the magnificent trees are?  That’s no accident – millions of years of evolution have laid the foundations, and all living things share common principles that make them successful. People, by contrast, have been around a mere 100,000 years and, in our current way of life, just a few decades. No wonder we have a thing or two to learn from our giant cousins. Like how slow and small solutions make us more likely to achieve our goals;  how bending with the wind rather than fighting our fears and anxieties makes us more resilient; and how planning time to rest and pause, like those giant oaks do each winter, allows us to make best use of the energy and passions that we have.

In this workshop, we will explore some of the natural principles, and look at how they can be incorporated in a design framework that can help us take control of our lives, our health and our wellbeing. And to ensure that we are being ‘good ancestors’ to future generations of people and to the other living beings that we share our planet with. Like you, every tree in a woodland is unique, so this process allows you to find your own way, guided by natural wisdom…
