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.
What you’ll receive:
🌿 The opportunity to develop a lifelong, supportive relationship with nature
🔥 Time around the fire with others who truly understand what anxiety feels like
🧠 A wide range of effective tools and strategies to understand and reduce anxiety
🧑⚕️ Two experienced therapists offering guidance, personalised advice, and empathic support
🧘♀️ Guided nature-based mindfulness and relaxation practices to build calm and resilience
🎨 Opportunities to engage in natural crafts and bushcraft activities that can ground and inspire you

Hands on the Land: Therapy and Conservation
This weekly drop-in group combines a fireside support group with conservation work to improve wildlife habitats. The fantastic benefits of spending time in nature are greatly increased when combined with the physical activity and meaningful work that is involved in conservation work. We hope that you will experience the sense of wellbeing and connection that comes from working together on a shared project and playing an important role in improving the biodiversity of this beautiful woodland site.
We have conservation tasks to suit every level of energy or mobility - from butterfly and bird monitoring to building bird boxes, planting vegetables, and creating a wildlife pond.
Testimonials:
“Thank you for welcoming me. It was a wonderful mini break, like a deep breath of fresh air.”
"I remained so calm and grounded all afternoon. I loved the experience…. Did me so much good. ”
Twyford Farm is part of the Countryside Regeneration Trust – a national charity that promotes nature-friendly farming to help reverse bio-decline and combat climate change.
The fireside therapeutic support group is held by two highly experienced therapists. The morning ends with a guided nature connection relaxation practice. It goes without saying that we expect participants will have different needs on different days - good days and bad days. Our check-in at the start of the sessions will help us to tune in to the mood of the group and tailor activities to reflect what is around.
Refreshments are provided, and the project may include some group cooking over the fire.
