Rebecca Naughton

Hi, I am Rebecca, I am a Creative Facilitator, Nature Connection Guide, Maker and Meditation Teacher. I founded this space with the aim of sharing the different strands of natural ancient medicines that can support us in modern times: herbs, meditation, art making, creativity and reconnection with wisdom of plants & nature for wellbeing, personal growth & transformation and joy.

I have worked with both adults and children, developing and facilitating both long term outdoor learning and wellbeing programmes and creative workshops. I was a cofounder of a Dublin Forest School, where I worked with a diversity of schools, homeschool and after school programmes and I also work independently with schools & communities.

In 2023 I went through a severe burnout and during the process of recovery from unwellness and exhaustion art making became a healing agent - particularly the mandala. I believe working with our hands and creative practices are vital and fundamental to our wellbeing. It provides a mindful and embodied outlet to reflect, slow down, reimagine possibilities, rebuild inner strength and resilience, process emotions & expand our capacity for joy.

My love to learn, grow and understand how I can live a slower, sustainable and nature centred way on this earth has led me to train in a variety of nature based and wellbeing disciplines as listed in my qualifications. However it is through stillness, observation, the creative process, and being in relationship with the earth I learn most about nature, myself and how interdependent and interconnected we all are to each-other.

I seek to guide people in repairing and rebuilding their innate connection with the natural world and enjoy sharing creative ways we can reengage with our Irish heritage in modern ways. I enjoy weaving together meditation, ritual, art making and plants and trees into both my indoor and outdoor offerings to gently reawaken people to the presence of the wild that lives all around us and within us.
