I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Helen Forester. I was inspired to invite her on the show by one of her recent Instagram posts about nature and creative blocks. Nature is fantastic at helping me to relax, get into flow, and get back in touch with my creativity, so I wanted to be sure to touch on this topic for the podcast.
About Helen Forester

Helen worked as an English teacher for ten years in South London, Sussex and Spain and is a qualified yoga and meditation teacher taking inspiration from each of these specialisms to create everything you see in her work at Prompted by Nature. She is dedicated to making nature writing and meditation accessible to all, helping to connect you with your own creativity and voice using nature as your prompt by creating safe spaces for wandering and creating.
