We are currently experiencing an unprecedented series of crises; climate, biodiversity, mass extinction… People are feeling deflated, powerless & sometimes overwhelmed. This is our response.
Nature's Blueprint is a unique framework which empowers & energises people to reconnect with nature & find innovative & impactful solutions to the challenges of our time.
To introduce this framework we held a launch event in September 2023 at FarmED, which has led to the creation of a supportive, proactive network of change makers who are resourced to pass the experience on & enable change in individuals, communities & organisations.
JOIN US at our next event, scheduled for 21st March 2024.

Who is the event for?
- coaches working in, or wanting to work in, the climate/eco/sustainability space who will experience a unique model to use with clients
- leaders in a community or an organisation looking for a creative thinking space to reimagine pathways forward
- individuals working in ESG or Sustainability who will leave with new connections, ideas & inspiration as to how they can be more impactful in their role
- conscious citizens looking for an innovative way of finding & contributing to solutions to our current circumstances
Nature's Blueprint framework
The premise of Nature's Blueprint is the acknowledgement of the disconnect between the human race and the rest of the natural world. Our belief is that this is at the heart of most of the crises we face today. As such, in working together we first move to:
- RECONNECT - Form a deeper relationship with the natural world, shine a light on the interconnectedness of soil health, gut health, human mental & physical health, societal & overall planetary health. This includes being outdoors, getting your hands dirty in the soil, learning about natural processes such as symbiosis, mycorrhizal networks, the microbiome and so on. This will lead to a state of being where you can start to:
- REIMAGINE a different way of being, a different future for you, your communities, your organisations. Drawing on nature's lessons you will explore different solutions whilst acknowledging the problems we face. Then you get to the vital part... you then get to:
- RESPOND - Taking your learnings from the day you will have time to reflect on your own & with inspirational peers to create your own action plan. There will be the opportunity to foster accountability within the community.
We are at the tipping point for our species and millions of other species on the planet. This is your time to make a difference - This is your time to take action, to be the ancestor you want to be.
