Event description

We are connected. Join us at the end of the Maroochy catchment to remember and celebrate Maroochy River and her tributaries.

This is a Global Earth Exchange Radical Joy for Hard Times event - where we practice holding the ugly and beautiful, joy and sorrow together in a simple ceremony/catch-up/flash-mob/ephemeral art installation.

We will spend time along Cornmeal Creek and the Maroochy (Mara-kutchi) River. Sharing and recognising the beautiful and hard stories of these waters past, present and future - Kabi Kabi / Gubbi Gubbi custodianship, colonisation and development, destruction of mangroves, roads and shopping centre that bridges the waters, the human and more-than-human beings that live, meet, sing, learn, swim and eat together here now, and what and who might come after us.

We will gather, wander, share and create. You might choose to wear colours of the river, ocean, sand or mangroves - blues, browns, neutrals or greens.

If the weather is favourable you will be invited to bring a picnic or barbeque offering to share a sunset dinner together afterwards.

Held Outside nature connection experiences

How does being outside feel?

Calmer, refreshed, inspired, more perspective, wishing you could stay longer?

Jay from Held Outside nature connection experiences helps folks make the most of their time outside, truly connecting with nature.

This boosts your physical and mental wellbeing and can support you to deepen your relationship with nature.

These evidence-informed experiences include nature and forest therapy (also known as forest bathing and Shinrin Yoku), simple nature journaling, wild tending, events and rituals. A stronger relationship with nature supports personal wellbeing, pro-social and pro-environmental behaviours and gives back to the land.

Held Outside is based on Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi land (Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia) and offers programs to adults, families and children.

I am an ANFT certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide who offers nature connection practices that are structured, relational and Earth-centered. Nature and forest therapy is an intentional practice that helps relax the body and connects humans with nature, reminding us that we are nature and can develop our senses and skills for being Earthlings.

In a guided nature therapy session, you will join a small group of people and be guided through an awakening of your senses that increases mindfulness and connection with the other-than-human world. Every session is different.

For more information about me and the practice, visit the Held Outside website or social media links.
