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.

Homeopathy is a natural and gentle system of medicine that works by stimulating the body’s own healing responses with the use of non-pharmaceutical medicines. The holistic nature of Homeopathy means that the mind-body connection is considered central in the causation and healing of disease. Treatment is not based on symptoms alone but how those symptoms effect you as an individual. A prescription is then based on the mind, body and spirit of an individual with the goal of targeting the root cause of an ailment for genuine relief and long lasting benefits. Remedies are made from plants, metals, minerals and various other substances which are then highly diluted and given in tablet form. It works on the premise that ‘like cures like’ which means that a small dose of a substance will cure the same symptoms it causes if taken in large amounts. For example, the remedy Coffea can be given for insomnia where large amounts of coffee would keep you awake and the remedy Apis which is made from Bee stings is given to reduce similar symptoms like swelling and stinging. Homeopathy’s gentle nature means that it can be used in pregnancy and on babies and children without risk of side effects. Used by 200 million people worldwide, studies have shown its effectiveness when compared with placebo and pharmaceutical drugs with no side effects.

Saffron Walden

Hello, my name is Andy Basham and I first got interested in coppice crafts and woodmanship through conservation work, mainly coppicing ancient woodlands. I was running a cane furniture workshop and material supply business at the time. Soon I realised I wanted to 'convert' to using local materials and traditional tools / practices. English woodland, particularly the uses for the underwood or coppice, became my passion. After selling my cane furniture business in London and moving to Norfolk, I took up hurdle making in willow osier, also rustic furniture, even making plantable live willow chairs and benches. I displayed and demonstrated my wares at craft fairs and built up a whole range of items to sell, including rakes, besoms and walking sticks. Seems to me very right that the best quality, or perhaps the most individual or unusual sticks occurring in nature, should be ear marked for walking sticks, after all they will be always close to hand even if not used every day. Its a strong link twixt ourselves and mother nature. What Andrew offers a range of greenwood products & services from the hazel woodland he helps manage. Utilising coppice wood and his palette of traditional skills he can weave a bespoke in-situ hazel hurdle; runs hazel chair making courses; and has a vast array of handmade hazel products - from pea sticks to faggots, from thatching spars to rake tines. See greenwood products from Coppice Designs for full list of creations >> Ethics I don't travel far for my raw materials, most is only a short bike ride away. This cuts down on 'wood miles' reducing our carbon footprint and supports the local economy. For these reasons I don't encourage people to travel long distances for my products or material. Carriage can be arranged for finished products and raw materials. Be warned this can be expensive as most of what I deal in is bulky and/or heavy. Where An old hand at woodland management Andrew is now based near Saffron Walden, North Essex. He demonstrates and displays his craft at country fairs mainly in East Anglia. See our events programme. You are welcome to view his products, contained in his 'show shed', next to his workshop at the new courses venue, Bridge Meadows, Springhill, Widdington, CB11 3SU, strictly by appointment. >>Jacob Lambert < Jacob Lambert models a "living willow chair". Want to make your own chair? See our courses page. Work Experience and Apprentceships Jacob Lambert (pictured left) got in touch and after a period of work experience became a successful apprentice. Get in touch with Andy to discuss the possibilities. Hales Wood, NNR/SSI I lead volunteer work parties at the reserve. We warmly welcome new volunteers. Coppicing is probably the best example of permaculture beneficial to man and beast (and plants!). The intricacies and diversity is mind blowing, please get involved if its not too far to come. Bring all your mates - in one car to make the journey count! Email me directly to be put on our specific Hales wood vols newsletter/mailing list for dates and other news. Become a part of the solution to climate change, instantly improve your carbon footprint, learn how, come along. While you need to be reasonably able/fit, no experience is necessary.

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.

Sheffield

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.

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.
