As a young lad I used to wake up early, just to make sure I could go for a wander in the garden before school.
Nature is part of me, of my functioning, both my physical and mental wellbeing. Whether I am walking in the hills, gardening or surfing, this is how I connect on a daily basis. Being in the ocean or in amongst plants feels like being in a timeless zone… I feel, I feel Nature, I feel Whole, I am…
This undoubtedly explains why I qualified and worked in the fields of horticulture, environmental and agriculture science for twenty years. Over the last twenty years, I have worked closely with and learned from farmers; Indigenous people in Australia and overseas; in public, private and non-for-profit sectors. In essence I worked with people to care for Nature.
Amongst many things I found along the journey was the desire to share what I feel in/ with Nature. I wanted to work with Nature to care for People…
It felt NatureWhole to go with the flow; paddle on that big wave with mixed fear and excitement! I left my job, went back to study and created NatureWhole to share with and guide people of all abilities, age, backgrounds into Nature, into their peaceful, connected, whole self.
The good-looking Kelpie cross Cattle dog next to Seb. He yarned on for a bit but at the end of the day I run this show!
In actual fact when it comes to guiding or making you feel special, I am your go to person, hmm yeah… dog…
I am also working on qualifications! Breezed through Basic Obedience training and going through Advanced training now.
