About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, everyone! Today, I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Green, an expert in nature connection and emotional wellbeing. We'll be discussing her course, "Professional Certificate in Nature Connection for Wellbeing." So, Jane, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've always been passionate about the outdoors, but it wasn't until I faced some significant life challenges that I discovered the healing power of nature. This experience inspired me to help others harness the benefits of nature connection for their wellbeing. HOST: That's incredible. Now, what current trends are you seeing in the industry when it comes to nature connection and mental health? GUEST: There's a growing recognition of the importance of nature in promoting mental health. Mindfulness in nature, ecotherapy, and biophilic design are just a few trends that highlight this shift. HOST: Interesting. And what challenges have you faced or observed in teaching this subject to others? GUEST: One challenge is helping students overcome their disconnection from nature, which is often a result of our modern, urban lifestyles. Another is conveying the scientific evidence behind nature connection in a way that's engaging and accessible. HOST: Those are important challenges to address. Now, where do you see the future of nature connection and its impact on mental health? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a rise in nature-based interventions for mental health. As more research emerges, I hope to see nature connection become an integral part of wellbeing strategies in various settings, from education to healthcare. HOST: That's a powerful vision.
