Wild & Well
with derry jayne
From the yoga mat to the forest floor...
movement, mindfulness
& nature connection
for holistic health & wellbeing.
Welcome!
I'm Derry. I'm a Forest School Leader, Holistic Health Therapist, Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher.
Through Wild & Well workshops, events and gatherings, it's my intention to help adults and children connect deeply and joyfully to the natural world with mindfulness, movement, bushcraft, foraging, ancestral skills and nature education.
To blossom, bloom and thrive!
All of my offerings are rooted in nature and my belief that leading a nature centred life, that's connected to the elements, the cycles and the seasons, is vital when it comes to cultivating good health and wellbeing.
To be wild is to be well!
Why Wild & Well?
I’ve worked in the world of health and wellness for over two decades delivering classes, workshops, and coaching to adults. And, since 2021, with preschools, primary schools, local authorities and organisations, leading outdoor learning and nature education for children.
I’ve witnessed first-hand the positive and powerful impact that nature connection can have for both adults and children alike - physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.
As well as taking my word for it, you can find a myriad of scientific studies out there evidencing the many benefits of nature connection and also the many ill-effects associated with the loss of that relationship.
Spending time outdoors regularly, and in a meaningful way, may sound simple enough. But in the fast paced and technologically driven world that we live in, we can all too easily find ourselves disconnected from the natural world around us and, in turn, completely disconnected from ourselves.
We ARE nature, after all!
Wild & Well is my small way of helping you to slow down a little, to reconnect and rediscover that innate bond that you have with the flora and the fauna, the earth and the sky.
With your own true wild nature.
Come and join me for my upcoming workshops & events in Sussex
