In this rich and reflective episode, Peter and Paul explore the evolving landscape of Nature Connected Coaching. They touch on team transitions, system thinking and the future of outdoor coaching, and the deep wisdom of nature, especially the soil and its importance in sustaining life. Peter shares practices from his retreats, the power of language in shaping our relationship with nature, and why he now refers’ to himself as simply “TNS, temporarily not soil” inspired by the work of Robin Wall Kimmerer. Together, they delve into rites of passage, organisational regeneration, and nature as a co-coach, all woven through with metaphors of rivers, roots, and renewal. Peter shares his experience of conducting advanced retreats where participants work in pairs or triads, connecting with nature and learning to listen to both their human partner and the natural world. They also discussed Peter’s book “Team of Teams” and the importance of coaching the connections between different teams, levels and stakeholders in an organisations.Join the Communityhttps://natureconnectedcoachinglive.com#coachingoutdoors #outdoorcoaching #coaching #ecopsychology #ecocoaching #bluespace #greenspace #natureconnectedness #naturalenvironments #ecology #nature #environment #mentalhealth #wellbeing #coaches #coachees #movement #thinkingdifferently
