This introductory online workshop “ Stepping Stones”  offers an accessible and supportive first step, enabling participants to begin exploring their relationship with water, wellbeing, and nature from the safety and comfort of their own environment. Through creative reflection, discussion, imagery, and therapeutic approaches, participants are encouraged to connect with the restorative qualities of blue space, build confidence, identify personal strengths and barriers, and consider realistic next steps towards future participation.

Rather than replacing outdoor experiences, the workshop acts as a bridge between interest and engagement, supporting individuals to move from curiosity and uncertainty towards confidence, connection, and involvement in blue space activities.

Some quotes from previous participants:

“I had no idea that I could feel so connected to Nature from the safety of my own home”  …..

“ The outdoors and meeting people on the beach had become to difficult this experience allowed me to work at my pace”

“ The images we spent time looking at and then making my own helped me understand there was nothing to be frightened about”
