For the people
“Connect and Create”
Connect and Create nature photo walks are designed to inspire you to reconnect with nature and feel the benefits of being outdoors for your mind, body and soul.
We all need to make time to release the pressures of the every day and reconnect with our true selves and spending time outdoors is proven to boost mood and have amazing positive benefits to our health and wellbeing.
My vision is to build a community where people can come together, appreciate nature and boost their wellbeing.

Next event: Friday April 29th, 10am in South Gloucestershire.

Why should I come on a mindful photography walk?
Would you like to clear your mind, boost your creativity and feel confident in your decision making? Are you craving some time to slow down and feel at ease?
Yes? Then this is for you.
Walking amongst nature is proven to boost your health and wellbeing. When you combine this with a creative activity it allows our minds to rest, recuperate and enter a natural flow of creation.
You will learn how to be mindful of your natural surroundings and environment with the use of your camera and I will also spend some time teaching photography basics, so you can get the most out of your photos.
You will feel at ease and will enjoy the art of slowing down amongst nature.
Why is walking in nature good for you?
Spending time in nature has a variety of benefits to our health and wellbeing. As well as being proven to increase positive feelings, nature helps to relieve stress and anxiety, as well as getting your creative juices flowing. By the end of the walk, you’ll be brimming with creative ideas!

Why use photography as a tool amongst nature?
Photography encourages you to notice the small details: seeing ordinary, unusual and everyday objects in a new light. Look around and observe what grabs your attention. Take notice and look closely. Capture the image, the feeling and focus your mind.
