Simon Høegmark, author and PhD in nature psychology, takes the audience on a sensory, down-to-earth talk about what nature means for our wellbeing and sense of happiness. The talk is based on his well-reviewed book I pagt med naturen.
Many of us have lost our connection to nature, and a busy, indoor lifestyle is increasingly linked to stress, anxiety and low mood. Simon argues it is never too late to reconnect, and that nature can help build resilience, self-care and quality of life. Drawing on research and bodily experience, he looks at the consequences of our limited contact with nature, its evidence-based healing qualities, and how other cultures use nature-based treatments.
The evening ends with a practical, easy-to-follow guide to nature-based wellbeing that you can take home and fold into everyday life.
