NURTURED BY NATURE offers a profoundly simple path through the year.
A guide to every month in turn helps you reconnect to the seasonal rhythms around you, meeting herbal allies that are available to you each month, understanding how to use them to improve your wellbeing and quench that deep desire for calm, clarity and connection to nature.
In short - it’s an antidote to the crazy world we live in, to the 24/7 culture and to carrying the worries of the world. By looking outside your own backdoor, be that in country, city, or somewhere inbetween, Nurtured by Nature offers you a guide to being comforted by your environment, by the familiarity of the seasons unfolding around you and, ultimately, to a more peaceful, grounded and fulfilling way of life - allowing you to rise and meet the challenges of modern living.
