Join A Programme
The Exploring Anxiety Project offers a different approach to anxiety. We don’t pathologise, fix or medicate anxiety… rather as a group of ten people over ten weeks, we seek to explore, understand and learn techniques to create space and disidentify from anxiety.

Programme Overview
Each programme runs for 10-weeks where 10 delegates and two facilitators meet for two hours weekly to experience psychosynthesis-informed activities and mindfulness techniques in nature, engage in gardening activities and explore the following themes through group discussion:
- Developing A Connection with Self
- Creating a Building Block of Trust
- Where Do You Belong?
- Being Present & Grounded
- Thoughts Become Things
- Connecting With Nature
- What’s Your Story?
- Creating Boundaries
- Switch Off to Feel
- Self-Care
The group sessions all use nature as a lens to explore, as nature is accessible to everyone and has no judgement. Research shows that being in nature alone, has a positive impact on mental and physical health, by increasing mood & feeling of connection, whilst lowing blood pressure and stress.
