Nature-based wellbeing on the Gower Peninsula
RE-WILD
A flexible three-part nature and wellbeing programme for people aged over 50.
RE-WILD supports people aged over 50 to connect with wellbeing, with each other and with the natural world through experiences in the Gower countryside and coast. It can also offer valuable support for people experiencing anxiety, low mood or depression.
Psychology, creativity and the natural world
Delivered several times across the Gower Peninsula, RE-WILD combines evidence-based psychology with nature-based learning, creative activity and practical experiences in the countryside and along the coast. The programme is for anyone over 50 who wants to strengthen their wellbeing and connection with nature, including people experiencing anxiety, low mood or depression.
Learning through experience
RE-WILD creates space to slow down, notice what is happening in mind and body, and explore new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Learning is brought to life through discussion, walking, grounding, navigation and creative activities, making the psychology practical, memorable and relevant.
