“I think its really good because I get to see places that are very local that I didn’t know, and even when the sessions stop I’m able to come back and revisit them. Its nice starting in 1:1s, not in a big group, and just going for gentle walks and going out. If I didn’t meet up with you I’d be at home now, but instead I’m here in the forest feeling better, and then going on to have a better day. So I think they are really nice sessions. It’s nothing too overwhelming or too much.”
