Thought Garden episodes

  • The power of nature and a band of brothers
    Kyle Dumka, transformational coach and I talk nature, life and his involvement with an inspiring group that supports disenfranchised young men on a turning point in their lives. Kyle has deeply held beliefs in the healing power of nature, and of how we can engage in different conversations, thoughts and ideas whilst immersed in the outdoor world. Kyle has volunteered for the last 2 years with A Band of Brothers, a remarkable organisation which provides 'rights of passage' and mentoring programmes for young men who have found themselves entangled in the criminal justice system. Kyle currently practices online, through walk and talk phone calls and in various wild locations throughout Sussex.

  • Ponder When you Wander

    Ponder while you wander encourages you to dial up your attention while walking, or sitting in natural spaces.  Using all of your senses to take in things you experience everyday and maybe notice something new.

  • Welcome to Thought Garden

    A space to ponder, to pause and to think and to grow.  Launched to share a love of the natural world and to connect with like-minded biophiles wherever they may be.  This first foray into podcasting for Rachel Woods, of Coach in Nature Ltd, is hopefully the start of a mind broadening exploration of humans and nature.
