Earth for Life

Earth for Life is no longer an operating company.

However, this page is still visible both for those who were involved in our wonderful work to enjoy the memories, AND to inspire anyone interested in ecotherapy and nature-based wellbeing.

Let's keep growing this beautiful work of healing, restoration and hope, all around the planet. 🌏🌿💛

Spring has not yet sprung, but there is life all around us - from the birds of which there are too many to name to these beautiful flowers.

A beautiful day walking along Finhorn Bay. Wet socks due to seeing the seals. But what a sight!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to our latest graduates! Our Aberdeen awards ceremony was graced by the presence of our peer mentors who gave great support throughout the programme, plus wonderful VIP guests Maureen Watt MSP, Nathalie Moriarty and Neil Taylor from Forestry Commission Scotland and Mirella who came all the way from Barcelona to see how she can take ecotherapy to Spain!

FRAMING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE!
For their final session our Branching Out Aberdeen Group collected sticks and square-lashed them in to picture frames. Each unique frame captured a unique scene, from a number of perspectives.
This allows us to share and appreciate the beauty of nature, the beauty of ourselves and of others, enjoying the diversity of perception and observation, seeing new things and even seeing the same things in a new way - click through and enjoy!

A fab day's foraging and wild food cooking in January at Primary in Dunoon. We picked gorse flowers fresh from the playground and made a lovely pot of golden tea. We then dipped into the freezer for elderberries, sloes and rosehips harveated back in the autumn to make cordial and a delicious jelly! Our Gaelic-medium foraging education pack was certainly put to good use! Thanks
