The author has an MSC in addiction Psychology and Counselling from London Southbank University in the UK" and a wealth of experiences of working with individuals and groups for over 20+ years. Along with his other skills in bushcraft, tracking, bird language, nature awareness and connection, as well as his life experiences from 22 years in the British Army and of working with people from all kinds of backgrounds such as disaffected youth, autism, mental health, and addictions, (to name a few), he has expanded on and developed a series of nature-based games for professionals, adults and children from all backgrounds. The games can be played on many different levels from: Simply played as a game with your children in nature to working with people as a professional from scouts, forest schools, forest church, bushcraft schools, mentoring, running summer camps or after school programmes to wilderness, nature-based and traditional therapy and much more. In fact if you work with people these games are for you. The books have been endorsed by top professionals in their field of nature connection, such as: 1. Jon Young author of 'What the Robin Knows' and the inspiration of understanding bird language . 2. Richard Louv author of 'Last Child in The Woods' well known for bringing a greater understanding to the world about our relationship of nature. 3. Josef Cornell author of 'Sharing Nature' greatly considered the Grandfather of nature connection.DNA 2 'Understanding Nature Through Play' is the second in the series: WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY: This excellent book provides a well organised and practical guide to working with the healing power of nature. Geoffrey's depth of knowledge, experience and passion for the subject is clearly evident on every page. The book provides essential concepts and a series of fun and enlightening games that every practitioner of nature-based therapies can use, no matter what their level of experience. Having participated personally in the games in this book, and also having facilitated them at my own events, I can very much vouch for their effectiveness. This is a very practical and useful book, which we've needed for a long time. I urge you to read it. Nigel Magowan Psychotherapist & Eco-therapist
