Welcome to Episode 38! Today, I'm delving into the transformative power of nature in education and health. I'll be sharing the backstory of Circle of Life Rediscovery, my community interest company, and our journey in offering nature-based programmes and green interventions with the National Health Service and various teams over the past 20 years.
In this Episode Marina discusses:
- Celebrating the nettle seeds from the female nettle plant (Urtica dioica). They have separate female and male plants, full of nutrients, proteins, omega 3 oils.
- How we can begin to apply our imagination and vision, reflecting on the role of power and participation.
- Marina shares her journey on how we can participate and create systems that nurture both ourselves and the natural world.
- Marina delves into how individuals and collective actions can drive system change and discusses strategies to influence and transform existing systems.
- Circle of Life Rediscovery CIC and an introduction to the Rediscovery Model, which kick-started the delivery of nature-based programmes.
- Early Days of Eco-Therapy defined by MIND, focusing on a model that listens to young people and provides space, time, safety, and choice around participation. This model listens to young people, offering space and time, safety and choice around participation – If you would like to know more about our green interventions projects please do get in touch.
- The development of the Certificate in Nature-based Practice as the primary training to offer the tools and practices to enable NHS, health and social workers to take individuals and groups outdoors. Our training Certificate in Nature-based Practice runs twice every year, in the Autumn and Springtime.

“It’s been more enjoyable than I could have imagined. I joined to learn how to bring nature connection to those I work with, but finished feeling supported, new friends, and with a renewed vigour for my own nature connection practice.”
