begin your forest journey

deepen your practice

facilitated in secluded woodland in east london. no prior experience needed.

k.i.n host nature-based adult workshops for our kinship, forest school facilitators, mainsteam teachers and our wider community to have opportunities to develop and grow.

most of these workshops are facilitated by experienced facilitators, such as jon cree and chris holland, who have come to us through personal connections. our vision is to also be able to host a diverse range of less well established practitioners that also resonate with our project. some members of our k.i.n team sometimes run workshops.

through hosting, our hope is to strengthen community & offer opportunities that are accessible, collaborative and supportive for everyone. all day workshops include a shared campfire lunch with soup and fresh bread cooked by our local bakery. they are attended largely by people we already know so have a sense of community. 

assisted bursary and funded opportunities available.
