‘Being in Nature’ author speaks at TEDx about the power of letting nature be your coach

‘Being in Nature’ author James Farrell has spoken at TEDx Aston about the power of letting nature be your coach.

On a platform shared with fellow nature coach Diana Tedoldi, of The Nature Coaching Academy, James highlighted the benefits of time spent in nature.

Many of these are covered in the new book ‘Being in Nature’ by James Farrell and Lee Evans. The book includes ‘self coaching’ practices – engaging with the natural world for the benefit of our wellbeing, and also to deepen our connection to nature.

Nature can coach us into a sense of oneness with the natural environment. That oneness brings health and wellbeing benefits for us, and for our communities. And it can also untap the desire to protect and care for the planet.

– James Farrell & Diana Tedoldi, Let Nature be your coach, TEDx Aston 2021

Published today – our new book ‘Being in Nature’.

This is a momentous day for us, the culmination of years of research, coaching, and teaching on the science of nature and health – and three years of planning for the book itself.

It’s been quite a push to get it ready for Christmas, but all being well it will be arriving in time to fill stockings around the world. We are excited to be able to help people experience even more from their time in nature – this book is far more than just a good read…we hope it is the start of a personal adventure into nature connectedness, and an increased sense of belonging to the natural world.

Available in ebook and a pocket sized booklet…and in the new year as a deluxe box set of practice cards.

A sneak preview of the inside design for our beautiful new ‘Being in Nature’ book!

Being in Nature book mockup - open with cover, by James Farrell and Lee Evans

Lucy has finished the book design and it really is looking rather special.

Our idea was to use antique illustrations of the flora and fauna that inspired each practice. Lucy has cut these out and mounted them on contrasting backgrounds – they really pop! Check out this mockup of ‘Autumn Renewal’.

Next stop the printers!
