Four Elements Workshop block mentored by Sheila Pope

What we'll do

We will be based indoors (in a Scout hut; kitchen and toilet facilities are available) but will go outside to do some exercises and we will finish by gathering around a campfire. We'll use the four classical Greek elements of earth, water, air and fire to facilitate self-reflection and to deepen your experience of the natural world. There will be feedback in small groups and with the whole group; we will use ritual and there will be a poem or two - and maybe some music. Take some time out for yourself!

About your mentor

Sheila Pope

Ecotherapist/counsellor/outdoor practitioner

Even from a young age, I had a heart for protecting the environment, disliking the "throw away" culture and shallow consumerism. I was brought up to "mend and make do" and feels that, finally, the rest of the world is catching up with me – I have been re-using my carrier bags all my life! I have been in private practice ever since qualifying as a counsellor in 2003, as well as providing counselling services at a hostel for the homeless for 4 1/2yrs and in a centre supporting adults with learning disabilities for 2 1/2yrs. Then in 2014 I saw an advert for a training course on how to take your counselling practice outdoors, which immediately appealed. I have not lost my hunger for this work since then and I use local nature reserves to work outside with my clients. I continue to build my own relationship with nature and enjoy gardening, walking, camping and riding my motorcycle. I am enthusiastic about helping others deepen their connection to the great outdoors too and believe this is important work: we all need to consider how to respond to climate change and the challenges it will bring in the future.

Suitable for

Anyone who wants to explore their relationship with the great outdoors, using the natural world to deepen their self-reflection and allowing some time and space to slow down and breathe.....

Learning aim

Aim 1

The workshop will give you some time to be with yourself and with nature for the purpose of self-reflection and will use imagery and the nearby landscape to assist the process.
