A monthly nature ritual circle and seasonal journey
Hosted by me, Laura! I’m an integrative therapuetic counsellor, somatic trauma therapist, nature connection practitioner and a pagan priestess. If you’d like to find out more about me and my background head to my frequently asked questions.
The Rooted Self Connection Sessions are a ritual circle space to explore an connection with the natural world, ourselves and community.
A recent article by The Guardian shared that, since the 1800s, human connection with the natural world has fallen by over 60%. We are more disconnected from the natural world and each other than ever.
Neuroscience shows that time spent in nature can reduce stress, calm the nervous system and support resilience. Beyond the science, we are not separate from the natural world we are an integral part of it. Nature is a living, breathing thing and our bodies, minds, and spirits are shaped by the same earth, water, air and sunlight that nurtures forests, rivers and animals.
The Rooted Connection Sessions offers a nature, spirituality and ritual circle space to reconnect with the earth, the natural world, cycles and seasons, ourselves and each other. We’ll explore this through practices including nature connection, meditation and somatics, along with invitations for reflection, folklore, earth-based spirituality and ancestral wisdom.
At the heart of these sessions is a commitment to reciprocity with nature. How can we cultivate ways to connect that give back rather than take?

“I attended The Rooted Self Connection Sessions and I just want to say how incredibly nourishing it was. Laura’s offerings are a blend of her meditation, counselling & nature trainings, alongside her extensive knowledge of Paganism & spiritually, whilst honouring practices, culture & diversity. You can tell that Laura is deeply committed to this work and way of living. The venue was very accessible wonderful and had easy access to nature. It’s always nerve wracking going into group sessions but Laura made everyone feel at ease. We had the opportunity to share our experiences & reflections, & it always reminds me how important it is to meet in groups, be connected to the Earth and put your devices away for a few hours. Thank you Laura! Looking forward to attending again!”
