Why Choose Nature for your child? Whatever the reason children come to the woods to access our programmes, we aim to incorporate the forest school ethos into all our activities and sessions, offering a learner-centred approach wherever possible. In line with forest school objectives, we strive to use their Badger Forest School experience to help children overcome their previous experiences and become positive and pro-active learners.  As an organisation with trauma-informed status, our Nurture Programme is specifically designed to support emotional wellbeing as we believe this best supports a child’s development and aids their return to a school setting on a full-time basis. Children are assisted to understand their emotions, their triggers and their behaviours, so that they can learn self-regulation and management techniques. They build trusted relationships with staff which enables therapeutic conversations to happen. The outdoors environment and associated skills building offers children the opportunity to succeed which helps develop confidence, self-esteem and identity. All-weather outdoor learning generates motivation and resilience, as well as helps relieve passivity, stress and anxiety.  In terms of academic learning, sessions deliver a wide range of activities designed to develop the child’s concentration, practical skills, fine and gross motor development, problem solving, language and communication skills, and expand their understanding of the natural world. Activities might include:  Shelter building Fire lighting and cooking on an open fire Tool use Studying wildlife Rope and string work Art and sculpture work Sensory activities Developing and discussing stories Creating and completing obstacle courses Activities frequently incorporate opportunities for working on literacy or numeracy skills, and additionally, we can work towards including some elements of the National Curriculum if this is a priority for the client, as many of our staff are teacher trained or have experience working in schools.

On this half day, exclusive, in-person workshop, personal brand photographer Susan Heaton Photography will do just that! And it comes complete with an invaluable aftercare support package. Susan has been photographing small businesses in and around Edinburgh for 20 years! I love what I do!

Here's a favourite review for Stand Out Shots: If you are wondering whether this course is for you, then it definitely is! I knew I had a great phone but absolutely zero knowledge of its capability or even how to use it! Susan's delivery is friendly, calm, patient and insightful and her experience is invaluable.

Description Master Herbalist Diploma Herbs have, for several millennia, been an integral part of human life and they have been used for a multitude of purposes like cooking, well-being and for medicinal purposes. In fact, herbs were the main source of medication throughout human history until the advent of modern medicine as we now know it. But a newfound interest in herbal medicinal practices has spurred in recent years as people seek to try out alternative forms of medicine. The Master Herbalist Diploma course will acquaint students with a wide array of information regarding herbal medicine, aromatherapy and flower essences and their varied uses. While studying herbal medicine, students will be introduced to how herbs have been used throughout history as medicine and their cultivation. Students will also get to know in detail about consulting and preparing herbal remedies to treat specific ailments as well their various uses in cooking, beauty, health and nutrition. Students will find in the course material details for about 1,000 herbs, their various usages, properties, effects and any contraindications. An overview of herb-based healing traditions from around the world, such as Ayurveda and Chinese medicine will be introduced to the student. The course aims at imparting rigorous training to students who aspire to become master herbalists. But medical professionals who would want to expand their knowledge of alternative healing traditions and their significance in the modern world will also benefit from this course. The course will introduce students to aromatherapy oils, Bach remedies, flower essences and tissue salts.
