with Andy Raingold, co-founder of Change in Nature

Feedback from our courses…

  • "People want to know why I feel so well-resourced in objectively difficult times. My answer is Change in Nature."

  • "I feel completely changed. The intimacy that was created in such a short space of time is genuine alchemy."

  • "Transformative. A privilege to have the opportunity to reset, reconnect and grow into a new mindset."

Are you accessing your full creative potential?

We live and work in an ever more complex and rapidly changing world. The challenges seem to be getting bigger but we have less and less time to address them. It’s hard to keep up and the target is always moving. With the constant demands and pressures of our day-to-day, we can often feel overwhelmed and lose sight of how we can best harness our talents in service to things that are of greatest meaning to us.

To perform at our full creative potential, it is more vital than ever to make the space regularly to stop, question, reflect, reassess and ensure our actions are consistently in line with our highest aspirations. How often do you deeply question whether you are being your most impactful and effective in all that you do? To what degree could your roles at work and/or home be (even) more closely aligned with your values? Are you continually moving towards the most authentic, purposeful, integral and courageous version of yourself at this exciting, uncertain and critical time?

One-to-one support

    Both Chloe & Andy can support you in your facilitation journey, providing one-to-one mentoring to help you launch new initiatives and/or facilitate programmes.

  • Rooted & Ready

    A tailor-made resilience programme to reduce the risk of depression, stress and anxiety, while also strengthening your capacity to cope with adversity.

  • Solo Nature Immersion

    One-to-one guidance and support to access nature’s wisdom with wild camping, outdoor fires and adventures in areas of draw-dropping natural beauty.

Coaching

One-to-one support to identify, create and sustain personal and professional change. This will help you to uncover your deeply held values and motivations, unlock limiting assumptions and fulfil your highest aspirations. It involves seeking new insights and guidance in response to the important questions in your work and life and then setting a number of stretching goals that we work to achieve over a number of sessions. As part of this process, we can head outside into the great outdoors which can help to provide creative inspiration, shift perspectives and connect to the bigger picture in the current challenges you are facing (or set up a call when we are both in nature).

A key part of the benefit is being held accountable. Research shows that very few of our ideas and commitments to ourselves are acted upon. It is often 10%! But this jumps to 95% when you are accountable to someone else with a specific goal and timeline. Such commitments are a big factor in turning visions into reality and I have found this to be really powerful in my own life.

I normally recommend six sessions (one session a month for six months) and my standard rate is £80 per hour. However, this is all flexible and can be tailored to needs (as well as a discounted rate if my fees feel unaffordable).

Mentoring

Both Chloe and Andy offer mentoring to support your nature facilitation journey and can help you with:

  • Starting a new social enterprise / project / initiative

  • Exploring and unearthing your core purpose and intended community

  • Honing your unique facilitation style

  • Designing a powerful flow and programme for events, workshops, retreats or longer learning journeys you are running

  • Navigating complex dynamics or challenges you might be facing

  • Debriefing after you’ve run something to capture learning and make changes for next time

  • Creative ideas and advice

Rooted & Ready

A tailored six week journey of coaching and mentoring so that you can strengthen, flow and grow in challenging times. This will provide you with valuable life tools that will help you feel more rooted in what strengthens, supports and resources you and more ready to face whatever challenges might come your way.

We will explore frameworks and practices that will help you to regulate your nervous system, deepen support networks, navigate overwhelm, find meaning in adversity, shift mindsets and activate hope. Evidence-based resilience tools have been shown to reduce the risk of depression, stress and anxiety, while also strengthening people’s capacity to cope with adversity.

Each session is one hour (apart from the first session which is an hour and a half) and you are invited to make commitments between each session to integrate the learnings into your life. The standard cost for the programme is £500.

Session One: Roots of Resilience. Exploring areas of stress and dysregulation in your life and how you might be able to turn this around and regulate your nervous system.

Session Two: Sense and Sensibility. Practicing presence, being in the “Resilient Growth Zone” and designing your Emotional First Aid Kit.

Session Three: Webs of Support. Calling on personal skills, resources and support networks and deepening relationships with others.

Session Four: Strengthening through Storms. Adversity as a catalyst to find new meaning and direction, shifting your story, developing a growth mindset and activating hope.

Session Five: Navigating Overwhelm. Managing modern madness and strategies for when it all gets too much.

Session Six: Towards Thriving. Integration to strengthen your resilience and help you navigate life’s challenges in a more skilled and resourced way.

Solo Nature Immersion

Come and join me in the South West for an adventure in the wilds, where I provide one-to-one guidance and support to access nature’s wisdom. This will include me holding space for you to have a solo immersion in nature safely and helping you uncover any insights from your experience. This can help you to access different ways of knowing and addressing a challenge you might be holding with a different perspective. Alternatively, you might wish to honour or mark an important transition in your life in an intentional way. There are options for sleeping out, wild camping or staying in remote dwellings - whether you are drawn to the ancient woods, the moors or the Cornish cliffpaths. This can be an afternoon session or full weekend.

Prices start from £300 depending on your needs.

More about me

I perform a number of varied roles in my life, such as a certified coach, speaker, mindfulness practitioner, environmental campaigner, social entrepreneur, outdoor educator and group facilitator with a wealth of experience leading people through transformation. In everything I do, I seek to make a difference and am constantly challenging myself to create, learn and evolve. This has led me to run a green pressure group, lead a cancer charity, set up a nature based social enterprise, sit with hospice patients, volunteer at homeless shelters, advise environmental groups, mentor young boys, support refugees in Greece and collaborate with San Bushmen in Namibia. I bring all this experience of making big changes in my life and creating change in the lives of others into my coaching and mentoring. This encompasses both the worlds of social change and business.
