Neil Meekin - The Pool of Life Podcast Episode #5 - Jim Loftus - Nature Connection

Welcome to Episode #5 of the Pool of Life Podcast. I had the honour and privilege of interviewing Forest School Leader & Trainer Jim Loftus of Grow Wellbeing in woodland on the mystical Bidston Hill on the Wirral Peninsula. It was a powerful experience to be in conversation and dialogue under a tarpaulin and the pouring rain, surrounded by trees, and immersed in Autumn energy. Its the intention that all future interviews where possible will be conducted in a natural environment. There is something around the coherence and the holding that it enables for a connection and conversation to go to a deeper level somehow. This was a beautiful far reaching conversation of honesty and depth. Some of the topics and themes discussed - *How the education system doesn't serve all learners and the impacts. *How being immersed in nature helps regulate the nervous system. *The power of nature based education through Forest School appraches. *How challenging circumstances in life such as illness and chronic stress can catalyse radical change in life. *The importance of acknowledging ancestors and ancestral lands and how they continue to shape us. *The importance of 'Irishness' and how embedded it is in Liverpool and the wider Merseyside region. *How a £20 hammock can transform your life. *Climate change and its impacts *A Slavic witchcraft practice for cultivating BEING. ...and much more. Join us under the tarpualin and the pouring rain amongst the Tress and the Autumn leaves.
