At EarthCraftuk we have over 12 years experience delivering a variety of nature based programmes including: Forest School Leader Training, Woodland Skills Continued Professional Development Workshops, school visits, youth accredited engagement programmes and experiential Forest School programmes; witnessing first-hand the transformational effects experiences in the natural world can have on the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all participants, and the fulfilling career paths it can often open up for adult participants. At a time when we on average spend 90% of our time indoors, our work at Earthcraftuk is driven by the evidenced impact of being in nature. Green spaces promote physical activity, social interaction, exposure to sunlight and reduced pollution, which all boost health in various ways, including reduced levels of stress and anxiety, aided sleep and a feeling of connectedness with the world, and one another. We have trained over 400 participants on Forest School qualification programmes; worked with a number of community groups; supported school and youth experiential and accredited programmes and also developed a Campfire Management Award for Kent County Council and now also working with Veterans on our Health & Wellbeing programme called Veteran Trees We are very grateful to use stunning private woodland owned by the Dawes family of Mount Ephraim Gardens – a philanthropic family who support our mission.

Portland

Our courses designed for beginners and all levels of skill run annually, and are now in their thirty-seventh year. Courses are held in the open-air, stone carving & sculpture workshop in the heart of Tout Quarry Sculpture Park & Nature Reserve and in the well equipped spacious Drill Hall Stone / Work / Space. Our Tutors are highly experienced in selecting freshly quarried stone for individual ideas, 3D sculpture, architectural forms, relief carving, letter cutting, stone masonry; and give one-to-one tuition in the development and completion of individual work. Working with freestone that can be carved in any direction informed by the pure quality of light throughout the day, reveals forms and surfaces that haven’t been exposed for 150 million years, creating a more powerful and visually informed work. Portland stone, the finest of carving stones, was once an ancient sea, formed from pure sunlight interacting with calcium carbonates in sea water. Covid 19 and social distancing Courses take place in socially distanced workshops, with reduced numbers and allocated tool sets. We have hand sanitiser, face coverings and cotton gloves, but encourage people to bring their own. Protective glasses are available for purchase. Note: Portland Sculpture & Quarry Trust (PSQT) reserves the right to change details of course dates, and course content.

Westwell

Founded in 2011, Jack Raven Bushcraft courses take place in beautiful Westwell, Kent, UK, just 50 miles from the centre of London with easy access by both rail and road. We have access to around 60 or so acres of stunning ancient broadleaf woodland in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Our courses in bushcraft, ancestral skills and wilderness living are perfect for anyone who wants to learn new outdoor skills, foraging, herbal remedies, traditional woodland crafts, corporate team building activities or simply having fun with nature. You don’t need any previous outdoor experience to take part in one of our bushcraft courses, or indeed any of our other courses, and the training sessions are entirely hands on so that you leave Jack Raven Bushcraft with simple, practical and repeatable skills.  Not only will you learn valuable bushcraft, survival and outdoor skills, but we’re certain that you’ll have a lot of fun along the way!  Our ancestral skills and bushcraft courses take place in a private woodland with no public access at an expedition style camp on the North Downs, complete with a yurt and wood burning stove, a parachute, a kitchen area, work benches and a composting toilet.  We have areas where you can pitch a hammock, tarp or small tent, cleared of standing and hanging dead wood, or you can camp on a nearby working farm campsite.  It’s the perfect environment for training in wilderness survival skills and taking part in our unbeatable bushcraft courses. Our bushcraft experience courses in Kent offer a wide range of organised outdoor tasks and team building activities covering wilderness living skills, woodlore, camp craft, tracking, earth skills, carving, and wild food and foraging courses as well as a wide range of traditional craft courses.   Our bushcraft and wilderness survival courses vary in duration, some take a day and are more specialised or you can join us for a bushcraft weekend.  For those who would like a truly immersive experience, we offer 5 day bushcraft courses – here you can learn all of the principles and skills needed to get by in the wild.   We place a strong emphasis on natural history, woodland management and conservation throughout all of our teachings as we believe that this knowledge should inform everything we do in bushcraft, both in the UK and abroad.

I’ve spent most of my adult life helping people to improve their health, feel calmer and more open and loving. I’m a: Wellness expert with over 20 years of experience Author of the best-selling book “The Blissful Breath” Certified Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor Level 3 is the highest level of expertise awarded to instructors Teacher of coherent breathing and Breath-Body-Mind techniques Herbalist Expert in shamanic healing Ceremonial cacao facilitator Teacher of reiki Former international athlete Host of The Breathe With Níall Podcast MY PURPOSE We can transform how we feel and think by using our breath, nature and the cold. It has worked for many, many people around the world, including me: helping me become a better father, a better husband and a better person. That is why I have dedicated the over 20 years to helping people find natural ways of restoring and improving their strength, health and happiness. HOW I GOT STARTED WITH WIM HOF It was late and dark. I was sitting on the floor waiting for the printer to finish printing my Wim Hof Method 10-week course manual. “I’ll give this a go when I’m waiting,” I thought, clicking the play button. “What’s he saying? Breathe fully in, and what? Let go.” I started doing this breathing and I immediately knew I had found something special. Strain Back then, my life was harder. I was exhausted most of the time. I was happy, but run down. Four young children are hard to raise. I was trying to be a great father, a great husband, keep my career going, while starting a new one. My health was good, but the strain was starting to show.

My first introduction to Kundalini Yoga was 14 years ago whilst visiting a dear friend of mine in British Colombia, Canada. I hadn’t seen my friend for two years and I was amazed at how radiant she looked and how vibrant and content she was. She had been practising Kundalini Yoga! I’d never heard of Kundalini Yoga before and I was very keen to try it, so I joined her in her practice. I quickly noticed its many benefits and on my return home I continued a daily practice using a DVD by ‘Gurmukh’, a renowned Kundalini Yoga teacher/ trainer based in Los Angeles. I began to let go of things that were having a negative impact on my life, and I really had a renewed sense of self belief. I listened to my inner voice and I found myself attracting positive opportunities and people into my life. My energy and my motivation blossomed, and I became more creative and more content. For years I had wanted to go to University and so at the age of 37, with a four- year old son, I went to University to study Music. During my third year at University I had my second son and I graduated when I was 40. I continued to practise Kundalini yoga intermittently and then in 2016, I found a teacher in Leicester, Dr. Japjeet Rajbir Kaur Khalsa. After taking classes for two years I decided that I wanted to share the transformational technology of Kundalini Yoga with others, so I began my teacher training. “Kundalini yoga is the supreme technology to awaken your awareness and take you into your original self. It is a natural unfolding of your own nature”. I completed my Level 1 Kundalini Yoga teacher training with the Karam Kriya school in May 2020.

I’ve been on a Hero’s Journey since 2014. What that means is I’ve been questioning the nature of my reality and diving into existential crises. I have phases of feeling super alive and aligned! And other times, I feel super confused, vulnerable and afraid. The expansion and contraction. The death and the rebirth. Over and over. Just riding those waves of personal transformation and evolution - which I think we can all agree have really heated up since 2020! I’m not shy from making big bold moves. From sacking off a successful corporate career in 2019 to work for myself in the personal development space, to reconnecting with my estranged dad after 17 years apart and also getting divorced. I am doing The Work, and am a student of Hermetic Laws. And my external world continues to change as my internal world. As above, so below. As within, so without. My path is my work and my work is my path. I love snakes and have a companion snake, Marmalade, who’s been with me since 2007. She’s a constant reminder to keep moving - the law of vibration - and that it’s ok to keep shedding and letting go as we move through life. Oh and I’m a massive water baby. I love being in cold water, whether that’s rivers, lakes, loches or the sea! And I love trees! My feet are often dirty from walking barefoot so much. I am gradually rewilding this animal body, and listening deeply to her needs. There is so much wisdom in this body,. You can join me on this adventure! I work with people in a variety of ways. I typically work with other space holders - coaches, breathworkers, therapists - to support their mindset and business practices. I offer group coaching and 1:1 sessions.

I trained as a Careers Adviser in 2007-8 after a long career working in the charity sector in a range of roles including managing a Volunteer Centre, working with community groups, managing volunteers and recruiting learners to courses run in the community. Some of my more unusual jobs have involved working in a Youth Hostel in the Yorkshire Dales, working on a sheep farm for two years in Australia and being a Tour Guide in a monastery. Being a Careers Adviser has been a great way of combining my two main passions – helping people achieve their goals and researching and disseminating information. An optimist by nature, I believe that everyone has skills, talents and abilities. Sometimes individuals need help uncovering these and with communicating them clearly to employers or with working out their next step on their career journey. I have certainly benefitted myself over the years from the support of various career professionals. Between 2013 – 2017 I was employed as a Careers Adviser delivering a national contract for adults seeking careers advice. Whilst I loved the work I became increasingly frustrated by the limitations of the contract which prevented many clients getting what they really needed support with. I realised the only way to be able to provide an excellent client-centred service was by providing it myself! And so I launched my own business. For your peace of mind I have Professional Indemnity Insurance and am a member of the national Career Development Institute (CDI). As a Registered Professional on the CDI register I am required to carry out 25 hours per year of Continuous Professional Development. I’m really interested in being the Best Career Consultant I can be so I regularly attend training and information events in order to develop my skills and knowledge.
