Beneath the Canopy Nature Connection
Beneath the Canopy is your weekly invitation to slow down, take a deep breath, and reconnect with the natural world. Hosted by Forest Bathing guides Orlagh and Cat, each episode offers gentle, grounded ways to weave nature connection into your everyday life.
They talk about everything nature: from forest bathing and seasonal self-care to Celtic traditions, foraging, mental health, and sustainability. Orlagh and Cat explore how nature connection can support you in your everyday life. Their motto is “Some is better than none.” Whether you have five minutes or fifty, they share practical tips, mindful exercises, and heartfelt reflections to help you find calm and clarity under the trees.
Tune in every Wednesday and join Orlagh and Cat... Beneath the Canopy.
