JackRavenBushcraftIf you went down in the woods today……….

Angela was delighted to meet Gary Johnston from Jack Raven Bushcraft and Jayne Dunsbee from Inspirational Changes.  Hear Angela’s interview with them about why Gary set up bushcrafting courses and is now an approved CPD provider of The Institute for Outdoor Learning.  Also we hear why Jayne and Gary have partnered together to provide a new offering, Nature Based Mindfulness retreats.  Gary and Jayne touch on the scientific benefits of Mindfulness practices as well as the benefits of being outdoors.  We hear about the wonderful tasty recipes that Gary’s partner, Nicola Clowes, produces (that have been compared to restaurant quality) for example, Hogweed Pakoras, Dandelion Bajis and Sag Aloo made from Stinging nettles and why stinging nettles are so much better for us than Spinach!

Show 129 – February 8th

JWTrainingLtdBarry and Jan Lewis of JW Training Ltd joined us today to highlight the importance of having an Emotional First Aid Kit in organisations.  We had a little challenge part way through the show, a power cut, which was rather exciting.  It didn’t deter us and we didn’t lose too much time to find out how Barry and Jan work with a variety of organisations and voluntary sectors and schools to deliver their accredited programmes.  They also explained the Emotional Healthscale as well as what our default emotion tends to be in times of stress.
