The Natural Happiness methods work especially well in interactive sessions, so I have recruited and trained a small team of Advocates who can offer both workshop sessions for groups of all kinds, and coaching for individuals. Sessions can be online or in person. Why not contact the Advocate of your choice for a free-of-charge conversation about how they might help you. These services are available in English or Spanish!

Do you find it’s getting harder to find the energy to get through the day? You’re not alone! Life and work really are getting more complex and demanding for most of us, so it’s no wonder if your energy feels depleted more often.

     One reason why this topic is so important is that most people face far bigger demands on their personal energy than 10 or 20 years ago. Why is this? One reason is that the average UK person now spends eight hours on screens each day (smartphone, computers, TV). Research shows that screen time depletes our energy, and makes it hard to relax fully.

And most of us spend less time doing physical work or exercise which could be an antidote. Read more.

In these uncertain times, this workshop will help you deepen your roots and grow your resilience. With sessions in Hawkwood’s gardens, you’ll experience how organic skills like composting, mulching, and co-creativity can feed your wellbeing amid daily stresses and big issues like climate change.

Alan writes: I see growing the resilience of local communities as a top priority in the UK and beyond. My Seeding our Future project has been exploring this issue for several years, and in partnership with the Network for Social Change, we have commissioned a Scoping Study to identify practical steps to help local communities: for example, better networking capacity to share skills and knowhow more effectively.
