Nature as Teacher and Healer with Gareth Vanderhope

Gareth Vanderhope, two times British Academy Award winner in Sound Design, Author, Health Educator and Dad speaks on the importance of nature, reading and sound for children's wellbeing. It has been well researched that children need nature for their senses; for learning and creativity, for empathy and resilience. This natural world is enhanced through the use of sound and stories in our lives, where reading plays such an important role in the lives of our children, families and communities. Gareth is just about to publish his first junior fiction adventure novel, laced with these themes. Join me - your host Sean Tonnet - as Gareth and I weave the love of adventuring, the joy of growing up and the dizzing heights of fathering, into a compelling story for a lifetime.www.garethvanderhope.comFirst aired on 99.9 BayFM Byron Bay Australia on 4 June 2018.Copyright PBB Media and Sean Tonnet 2018
