Do you wonder if there's more to life than the way you're currently living?
Do you desire to feel more deeply connected to the world & to yourself?
Do you want to understand how nature communicates with us?
Are you ready to understand your life’s journey & to be empowered to step forwards into something new?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you’re in the right place.
For thousands of years our ancestors lived in harmony with nature. In the modern world of distraction we have forgotten that we are not separate from nature - we are nature.
Only by understanding our own inherent nature
can we hope to fully understand ourselves.
Native American Indian Spirit Walkers often connected with the spirits of nature to find guidance and wisdom.
This 3 day course is designed to help connect you with the earth on a deeper level and to decode it's hidden messages.
With support and guidance you will then embark upon your own Spirit Walk on Dartmoor from dawn until dusk.
This is a unique nature-based theraputic experience for men and women to help shift and align you to your life's true path.
One day when the time is right
I will dare to shine a light
In the darkest corner of my soul
Before my heart gets too cold
What lucky chance, what twist of fate
Has brought me to these thoughts of late?
I seek the sky, the rocks, the trees
For in these things are gifts indeed
The day I chose to turn and face
The part of me that had no place
At last I’ve set that demon free
There is no one else I’d rather be
I am the wild wind upon the hill
I am the raging river in the dell
I am the eagle in the sky
And my soul is free at last, to fly

I wanted to become a more assertive, positive and stronger me. I was told about these two likeminded guys that run Spirit Walk courses and I thought why not give it a go. I had what I can only describe as the most mind-blowing experiences and it brought up emotions within me that I've managed to use to my advantage and begin to change my life and being, in a much more positive and meaningful way. Mark and Brendan were amazing and encourage you to be the best version of you. A truly great adventure that I can't wait to repeat and build upon very soon!

I decided to go on the Nature Connection Soul Alignment course at the beginning of January 2022. I had been experiencing some anxieties about staying away from home which had been getting increasingly worse since the pandemic and all the time spent being at home so I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity for me and something which I could face up to in a safe environment. I had also recently come out of a long-term relationship so I felt that this was my calling to look deeper within myself and connect with who I really am away from all of life's distractions. The weekend was a truly wonderful experience for me. With loving guidance and support from Brendan and Mark I was able to explore some difficult and raw emotions in a safe space. Each day I came home from being outdoors to a hot home cooked meal which was prepared by the host. The cottage was very clean with a cosy homely feel to it. The landscape right on the doorstep took my breath away. I found little streams, magnificent forests and miles and miles of moorland to explore. During my time out in nature I was able to connect with myself and get back onto the path that I felt I needed to be on. I came away from the trip feeling re-centered with a renewed energy for the New Year. This was such an enriching, mindful experience for me on such a deep level. I shall be re-booking another trip for later on this year!

I recently had the opportunity to attend the nature connection soul alignment course hosted by Brendan and Mark. What an incredible experience. Initially, I had some apprehensions, but those quickly faded away once I immersed myself in the course.
Connecting with nature in such a profound way whilst walking alone was truly mind-blowing and life-changing. The peacefulness and serenity of the environment provided the perfect backdrop for self-reflection and personal growth.
Mark and Brendan were the perfect hosts, they created a safe and supportive space which allowed us to delve deep within ourselves and explore our innermost thoughts and emotions. I found sharing our experiences within the group added another layer of richness to the overall experience.
Whether you are seeking personal growth or connection with your soul, this course is an incredible opportunity for self discovery and transformation. I highly recommended it!
