Sustainability Workshops Delivered in Nature
Whether you are an individual, an educator, a group of business leaders or a workplace team, my workshops deliver a multitude of benefits to you and your communities. Clear, relevant and accessible sustainbility content; improvements in participants' health, wellbeing, and sustainability skills; plus increased enthusiasm and authenticity amongst your workplace culture and wider stakeholders.
My preference is delivering workshops in-person, however I can tailor sessions to an online format should you wish.

These outdoor experiences will upskill members of your organisation, boost engagement and enthusiasm for sustainability and your agenda, whilst also improving your reputation amongst stakeholders.

Attendees will leave with well-rounded critical thinking in relation to carbon emissions.
Where appropriate, I can take a deep dive into a particular theme that is relevant to an organisation’s existing carbon profile, to make the experience more relevant and impactful.

Your challenge, my opportunity
Are you unsure where to start with sustainability? Perhaps there’s a theme you would like to include in your event’s agenda or organisation’s strategy, but you don’t know how to make it relevant? Or maybe you need an injection of positive, opportunistic thinking amidst a negative backdrop?
I have an array of experiences in creating bespoke, empowering content for different audiences, and am eager to design content for you that is relevant and builds upon shared values. Please contact me to discuss your specific interests, ideas and needs.
