“I think it is that thing for me about being in nature. It’s often where I feel I get really present with myself. It’s where I can hear myself, where I can listen to myself, where I feel like I put bits of myself back together again”
Jackee Holder joins us from the outskirts of London to share her passion for trees, tree mythology, nature, outdoor coaching and journalling.
Jackee is a coach, supervisor, prolific writer, inter-faith minister and podcaster.
Jackee shares insights into her outdoor coaching practice and finding nature in amongst the urban spaces of London. As well as her love for trees and how this profound connection has shaped her journey.
She has created a “Green Prescriptions Manifesto”, inviting people to think about where are the places in nature that energise them. Then take what they’re noticing and what they’re observing into journal writing, to explore their inner world, thoughts and feelings.
She has also created a number of very useful tools for outdoor coaching and shares her inspiration for designing these tools.
For example, “The inner and outer self-discovery card deck” with 49 questions, and around 8 different themes from seed to wisdom, to root, to growth, to nature, to bloom, which offer a different entry point into looking at a question or challenge.
And the “Writing with Fabulous Trees: Writing Map for Parks, Gardens and Green Spaces” which provides creative writing prompts to help deepen our connection with trees.
