Coaching Outdoors Episode 29 - Robin Bowman

“Realising the transformative and powerful experience of feeling that resilience from being able to gather things from the natural world and provide for yourself…it’s a really important thing I try to encourage, that it’s not an exploitative relationship, that it’s a reciprocal relationship, that you give back”Robin Bowman is a true inspiration. The co-founder of The Old Way programme, mentor of teenagers at WildWise camps, tracker, bushman and expedition leader in the Kalahari and proponent of the ecological restoration movement.Recording this podcast episode gave us so much to think about as we listened to his stories and examples. Such as spending time with the San Ju Bush people of the Namibian Kalahari learning indigenous bow hunting and tracking skills, and grass hut making. At his rewilding project Moor Barton, mimicking the behaviour of native animal species long since gone from our land to help rewild parts of the Dartmoor moors, gathering oysters and cockles on the bank of the river Dart, encouraging people to sleep outdoors and spend time in the woods at night and not be scared.These are just some of the range of topics we cover in this podcast.Robin is a champion for being a participant in nature, rather than an observer, and leaves us at the end with a real call to arms… now really is The Great Turning.  View podcasts and get in touch. https://www.coaching-outdoors.com Anna-Marie https://www.rfmcoaching.com Alex https://www.alexburnconsulting.com   #coachingoutdoors #outdoorcoaching #coaching #ecopsychology #ecocoaching #bluespace #greenspace #natureconnectedness #naturalenvironments #ecology #nature #environment #mentalhealth #wellbeing #coaches #coachees #movement #thinkingdifferently
