ABOUT THE TUTOR
Jon Cree has almost forty years’ experience as an environmental/earth educator and trainer. His passion is
helping others ‘get in touch’ with the natural world through dynamic learning programmes and hand-on
learning experiences. He has for many years worked in Forest School, particularly with learners who are often stressed by our education system, home circumstances or other situations that set them apart from 'the mainstream'. And yet we all bring gifts to the communities we are part of. During the pandemic signs of stress, anxiety and even trauma have become more prevalent and Jon has been diving deeper in 'somatics' and body based approaches. He has been asked to run even more trainings on anxiety, stress and trauma, and how the more than human world and creative practises can support our nervous systems. This is based on the many years he has worked with young people, especially adolescents.
