We Are Nature

About

My name is Sharon Owen. I am a L3 Forest School Leader and a qualified Forest Bathing Guide I am also certificated for Earthwalks Leadership. I am a qualified yoga teacher and also have a degree in Education and worked as a Primary School Teacher for 21 years. I started wearenature.org.uk, with the goal of providing both a donation-based, stay-and-play Forest School, for under-fives and their carers, as well as donation-based Forest Bathing for the grown-ups in the urban environment of Wick Woods in Hackney.I am a strong believer in the benefits of humans spending more time in natural surroundings. So many studies have shown the immense benefits of doing so. I am aware that the prices charged for some Forest School and Forest Bathing activities act as a deterrent to many who would benefit. It is my hope that, by offering these activities as donation-based, that those of us who are able to pay more, will do so and therefore, be able to make these activities sustainable, for those that need to pay less.
