Who is the tutor?
About the Tutor: Christine Bailey
How will I be taught?
Your tutor will use both a classroom and outdoor environment to introduce a sense each week, with that sense being fully explored. Each week you will learn techniques to help you relax and make connections with nature and yourself. Your tutor will use a mixture of demonstration, verbal guidance, pair and group work and practical activities during the lessons. There will be time for you to ask questions and seek clarity and to share your experiences with your fellow students.
What do I need to bring with me?
You will need a notebook and pen each week. Your tutor may also ask you to bring in other items during specific weeks but these will not be expensive or difficult to source. Most of the resources for the course will be provided.
What can I do next?
