ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode I look back on CLR's Green Health Virtual Gathering, Embedding Nature in Practice – From Vision to Delivery. It brought together psychiatrists, a GP, psychotherapists, nurses and NHS teams to explore one idea: nature is a co-healer alongside people, and the healing happens in relationship, with each other and with the land.
Topics include:
- Reflection on the gathering and what happens within the Health service!
- Why "just go outside" isn't enough. The outdoors isn't the intervention; it's a partner in it.
- Person-centred practice built on invitations rather than prescriptions, and why no two sessions should look the same.
- Dr Hannah Sherbersky on how we already are nature, and why the work has to respect people's different histories with the land.
- Contributions from Dr Shuo Zhang!
- Roger Duncan's three gateways to deep nature connection, and his warning against the "green pill".
- Can relational, person-centred work be evaluated? (Yes. Here's how.)
