Meet The Team

Victoria Clark,  MCThA, IIHHT Dip

Passionate about nature and supporting others on their journeys of self discovery and empowerment. Victoria has spent over 20 years as a holistic therapist working in the field of mental health and holistic wellbeing, both within the NHS as well as charitable and private organisations. 

“Having always held a deep love and reverence for the earth, I was drawn to learn more from ancient and indigenous cultures about how their connection with nature supports their health and happiness. This journey took me onto training with with some renowned teachers in the UK and abroad, all of whom I am immensely grateful to.

After several years of training, I graduated as a shamanic practitioner in 2008 and started to host seasonal nature gatherings as well as offer one to one support.
I am still and always will be learning through my own journey of self discovery as well as from the people around me, of all ages. 

In 2016 I decided to train as a Permaculture Designer, to deepen my understanding of environmental impact and give me the tools to help make more of a difference on a practical level. I incorporate the ethics of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Shares into all that I do.

Over the last few of years, alongside home educating my son I have also been training in Wilderness Therapy and Celebrancy with the intention of bringing more of the sacred to peoples lives through the natural world as well as developing the therapeutic services I offer to younger and more vulnerable people.

I now weave all I have learned and continue to learn, into supporting people to grow through their connection with the natural world.  
Sharing ancient wisdom and knowledge applied to todays shifting cultures and providing simple and effective strategies to help navigate your own amazing journey of self discovery.”

Paul is a lifelong lover of all things outdoors. Growing up as the son of one of the leading climbers of the 1960 and 70’s Paul’s first passion went in another direction and was for paddlesports, culminating in representing England in canoe slalom.

After university and obtaining a PhD in chemistry the outdoor lifestyle was still maintained alongside a successful career in initially R&D and then Health and Safety in an industrial setting. However, the pull of the nature was too much and 20 years ago Paul switched roles to take up full time work as an outdoor coach and guide.

In addition to the qualifications needed to safely run these activities.

Paul is qualified and experienced in delivering outdoor learning and development and holds a level 4 teaching award, a level 3 youth work qualification and has professional recognition -RPIOL- Registered Practitioner of The Institute of Outdoor Learning. Paul’s full time career culminated in 2020 after managing Adventure Sunderland, the North East’s leading provider of adventurous activities to schools, groups, and individuals.

We also work with a range of other providers, from different organisations. More details coming soon.
