I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news.
~ John Muir
Are you worried that you are ‘degenerating into a machine for making money’? Do you feel the urge to ‘break away’, but find all your plans blocked by the pandemic? Do you wish that you could somehow rewild your job?
At a time when we most need the restorative power of the natural world, I’m one of many who cannot ‘get out into the mountains to learn the news’. The solution is to go deeper into local pockets of nature and bring the outdoors indoors by rewilding our homes and work spaces.
This one hour workshop will show how nature can:
- reduce your anxiety and work-related stress, while increasing your work performance (in as little as 40 seconds)
- boost your immune system and help you sleep better
- improve your creativity, the quality of your ideas and your memory
- make you feel $10,000 richer and 7 years younger (really)
And, if you are in quarantine or self-isolating, we will learn five ways you can bring the power of nearby nature into your home.
During the session, I will introduce you to the scientific evidence and help you put your rewilding strategies into practice:
- Locate your own nearby nature
- Rewild your workstation
- Schedule a one-to-one with a local tree mentor 😄

Feedback from Rewild Your Job participants
I think we all know that nature is important, but I didn’t know that there was so many scientific studies to prove it. Thank you so much for opening our eyes!
I’m a nature photographer and I interact with nature pretty frequently, but even then I wasn’t aware of so many diverse aspects of nature that you have pointed out. So it was absolutely mind-blowing!
Note: This was my first workshop over Zoom so began with the customary technical faff. To skip all that, please fast forward to 4m50 😅
