“I think it is that thing for me about being in nature is. It's often where I feel I get really present with myself. It's where I can hear myself, where I can listen to myself, where I feel like I I put bits of myself back together again”

Jackee Holder joins us from the outskirts of London to share her passion for trees, tree mythology, nature, outdoor coaching and journalling.

Jackee is a coach, supervisor, prolific writer, inter-faith minister and podcaster.

Jackee shares insights into her outdoor coaching practice and finding nature in amongst the urban spaces of London. As well as her love for trees and how this profound connection has shaped her journey.

She has created a “Green Prescriptions Manifesto”, inviting people to think about where are the places in nature that energise them. Then take what they're noticing and what they're observing into journal writing, to explore their inner world, thoughts and feelings.

She has also created a number of very useful tools for outdoor coaching and shares her inspiration for designing these tools.

For example, “The inner and outer self-discovery card deck” with 49 questions, and around 8 different themes from seed to wisdom, to root, to growth, to nature, to bloom, which offer a different entry point into looking at a question or challenge.

And the “Writing with Fabulous Trees: Writing Map for Parks, Gardens and Green Spaces” which provides creative writing prompts to help deepen our connection with trees.

“Being outdoors, simply allows me to be myself”

Clemens shares his early years of nature connection right through to memories of family connection to brothers, father, and of course the mountains and the small farms, sometimes drinking cow’s milk and playing in the hay.

Clemens shares his thoughts that while in the outdoors, either on his own or with others, somehow our normal set of rules are changing in a way, they are much more authentic and natural, it allows you to be there without filters, and that's what makes it so special.

This is an honest, authentic story about how difficult it can be to step away from the corporate world, which, yes, has its own challenges and yet Clemens experiments and tries things that 2 years ago he would have never considered. And suddenly, these things begin to evolve, and confidence grows and a new life identity begins.

Clemens brought his adventuring aspect from his early days into his outdoor coaching by taking people and groups on night hikes around Brussels. Weaving his coaching, facilitation and adventure into an identity that is only now recently starting to work its magic. Seeing what he wanted, what clients wanted and what skills he had and bringing it all together is a very interesting journey.

His book "Misogi Mindset: transforming lives, one adventure at a time" is a result of one of Clemens 160 kilometres hikes last year in Belgium. He wanted to write something which is quick and easy to digest, and ultimately inspires others to go out and do their own Misogi adventures - based on Japanese Samurai rituals from ancient times, which involve purification under icy waterfalls to sharpen the mind and strengthen the whole body for the difficulties ahead. Clemens goes on to explain how he has weaved the Misogi mindset into his coaching work and helps others to develop their own Misogi mindset.

“I actually help them gain an experience of the interconnectedness of how nature works by working with trees and living systems around, explaining how electromagnetism, how forest bathing, aromatic compounds, how connection through sound, how the wood wide web works with Mycelia! All of that, it just opens them up” ~ Giles Hutchins, Coach & Author

Pioneering practitioner, executive coach, thought leader, author, keynote speaker and land guardian Giles joins us from sixty acres of ancient forest known as Springwood in Sussex. He tells tales from his formative years as a child through to his coaching client work that blends rigorous academic research with his search for his soul-craft. Time and time again the power of serendipity and trust emerge in our conversation from his transition within the mainstream corporate world to his current coaching career. His six published books on business, regeneration, nature, separation and leadership track this journey and offer an insight into the depths of his contemplation and self-reflection across the years.

This episode is packed with a multitude of theories and resources from regeneration, Theory ‘U’, adult development, identity, systems thinking, biomimicry, ego soul dynamic vertical development and more. Giles offers insights into his transformational work through client stories with organisations such as Vivobarefoot and beyond.
