Episode 24: Hills and Mountains

In episode 24 of the ecotherapy podcast, I reflect on the magic of hills and mountains. I discuss and introduce ways of getting to know your favourite hills or mountains a little better (without climbing them).

Hills and mountains are dominant, unique formations that tower above the landscape. We are so often aware of their presence, but how often do we pay attention to their individual structures and quirks? In this week’s nature therapy radio show, I walk and reflect on my local hills—The Pentlands.

The idea of sketching can be off-putting to those of us (myself included) who find the idea of creating art difficult or even frustrating. For others, however, art and ecotherapy go together like hand in glove. Either way, there is something about sketching the outlines of a hill or mountain that can connect you to it in a simple way. Tune in to the show, and give it a try!
