A summary
The forest school prac//oner is uniquely placed, through the communities that we hold a space for, to create meaningful relationships with the natural world. In understanding how to contact, connection, culture and kinship emerge out of forest school practice, we are better able to create an inspiring alliance between humans and non-humans. This workshop will explore assumptions about nature, the role of kinship and imagining new perspectives on how we relate to the more-than-human world.
About your mentors
Paul Moseley
Plays with sticks for a living.
I have been leading programmes since becoming a forest school prac//oner in 2007. Since 2009 I have been a qualified trainer and have been fortunate to mentor thousands of practitioners both in the UK and internationally. Presently I am completing a Master's degree, before continuing onto a doctorate, focusing on kinship, natural crafts and place-responsive practice in regard to forest school communities. A lot of my work is as an ethnoecology consultant, advising organisations on their practice in relation to nature connection at a community/regional level. In 2019 I founded a non-profit through which I run forest school and outdoor play practitioner training and bushcraft workshops/courses www.exploreournature.com
