Newly launched with family and nature at the heart of what we do: Nature Base offer a range of sessions that provide the ‘base’ for families to play, grow and breathe together. Our aim is to see more families (whatever your family make up is) immersed in nature, connecting with the natural environment and exploring life in the present moment. We lead sessions in green spaces and woodland to offer a rich multi – sensory environment that provide opportunities to strengthen your own family connections, enable nature connection, and support holistic well-being. https://www.facebook.com/naturebase.je @naturebase.je • Instagram photos and videos email: [email protected] |
