ReLeaf: How to Manage & Alleviate Anxiety
Come and join us around the campfire, next to a lovely stream in our peaceful woodland setting, where nature offers calm, clarity, and connection.
This course is designed to help you understand and ease anxiety through a blend of therapeutic support, practical tools, and nature-based practices. Each session weaves together gentle learning, mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and hands-on experiences with natural crafts and bushcraft skills. You'll be alongside others who understand what it’s like to live with anxiety, supported in a non-judgmental, welcoming space.
At the heart of ReLeaf is the understanding that anxiety is not all of who we are, it’s just one part of us (a dominant one!), which is trying to keep us safe.
Drawing on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, we explore how to develop a kind and compassionate relationship with our anxious part. Rather than pushing it away, judging it or trying to suppress it, we learn to listen to it with curiosity and care. From this place of inner connection, we can begin to reassure this part of it's safety and lead from our calm, confident self. This allows us to move toward greater ease and resilience.
