Four Elements Workshop
Sheila Pope
A summary
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
Sheila Pope
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.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
