Nature at Work
By acknowledging and nurturing our connection with nature and by looking to nature for solutions, inspiration and ideas, we can create real and lasting benefits for individuals, teams, organisations, and the planet.
Nature at Work is an approach to individual, team and organisational development which involves:
​
-
Applying nature’s principles to planning and decision-making.
-
Solving problems by drawing on planet Earth’s 4.5 billion years of experience and wisdom.
-
Looking to nature for ideas, inspiration, and lessons.
-
Engaging with nature for improved wellbeing, creativity, and engagement.
-
Creating courses and workshops that involve learning in, with and from nature.
"Connecting with, and being in nature has been such a powerful tool... for challenging patterns of behaviour and developing a new sense of purpose."

"Nicki worked with us to strengthen the engagement of the diverse teams at Soil Association with our brand. We both shared a belief in the power of nature and Nicki used her experience and creativity to bring this to life in a series of workshops. The reaction has been excellent. Having our screens connecting us and nature just out of the door meant a truly memorable opportunity for reappraisal."
Ian Ayling, Strategy and Marketing Director, The Soil Association
​​“Immersing myself in nature helped me to find a connection between insects, animals, plants and being part of a team. It helped me to notice that we are all part of a dynamic ecosystem, we all have a part to play with our unique roles, and we all connect together and impact on each other."
