Peace of Green exists to provide therapeutic and creative time in nature, to improve mental health and wellbeing. We offer sessions in nature that blend nature connection, bushcraft, arts and crafts, mindfulness and therapeutic techniques. We truly believe that everyone has a right to spend time and space in nature, and specialise in working with groups of people who often may not have opportunities to access natural spaces because of finance, age, gender, ethnicity, ability or other factors. We work hard to ensure that what we do is as inclusive and accessible as possible.
