‘Being in Nature’ authors attend major events this summer

About Nature Connection Books, Nature Practices for Wellbeing

‘Being in Nature’ authors James Farrell and Lee Evans will be attending two major UK events on people and nature this summer.

Both will be attending the University of Derby’s ‘Nature Connections Conference’ on 24-25 June.

The University is leading the world in the science and psychology of nature connection – the many ways in which becoming closer to the natural world is both good for us and our human communities, and inspires individuals to take more action for the environment.

The authors’ consultancy, The Human Nature Partnership, is the only consultancy listed in the groundbreaking new publication ‘Nature Connected Organisations Handbook’. You can get your copy here: https://findingnature.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/nature-connected-organisations-handbook.pdf

James Farrell will be attending the first festival of outdoor coaching at Henley Business School on 12 July.

James will have copies of ‘Being in Nature’ for sale on the day, and will be running a workshop on the value of compassion in nature coaching. This is inspired by the practice ‘Be Kind’ in the book.

Inspire your staff and colleagues with your own event

If you would like us to run an interactive nature connection event for your organisation, do get in touch.
