Have you ever felt calmer after a walk in the woods? Or noticed how your thoughts slow down when you sit by the sea? That’s not just your imagination—it’s nature doing what it does best: helping us heal.

This June, as we celebrate events like World Environment Day, 30 Days Wild, and the Summer Solstice, we invite you to explore a gentle, powerful idea: rewilding your mind.

What Is Rewilding Therapy?

Rewilding therapy is about reconnecting with the natural world—not just as a place to visit, but as something we’re deeply part of. It’s inspired by the idea of “rewilding” landscapes—letting nature return to its wild, untamed state. In therapy, it means letting go of the noise, stress, and pressure of modern life and remembering how to simply be.

You don’t need to live in the countryside or go on a retreat. Rewilding your mind can happen in your garden, a local park, or even through your window.

Healing Is More Than Talking

At Calm Together, we believe in a holistic approach to well-being. That means looking at the whole person—not just the mind, but the body, emotions, environment, and spirit too.

While talking therapies can be incredibly helpful, they’re not the only path to healing. Sometimes, healing happens when we move our bodies, when we create, when we rest, or when we reconnect with the natural world.

Rewilding therapy is one of the many ways we support people in finding peace and balance. It’s about remembering that healing doesn’t always happen in a chair—it can happen under a tree, beside a river, or with your hands in the soil.

A Personal Note

For me, healing and rest come most naturally when I’m in nature—especially in woodlands or at the beach with my feet in the sand. I often find peace while walking along the sea glass-covered beaches in Sunderland, where the waves and the treasures they leave behind remind me to slow down and breathe. These moments help me reconnect with myself and the world around me.

Why Nature Helps Us Heal

Nature has a quiet rhythm. It doesn’t rush. It doesn’t judge. It just is. And when we spend time in it, we start to slow down too.

Studies show that being in nature can:

But beyond the science, there’s something deeper. Nature reminds us that we belong. That we’re not separate from the world—we’re part of it.

5 Simple Ways to Rewild Your Mind This Month

You don’t need to do anything fancy. Just start small. Here are five gentle ways to bring a little wildness back into your life:

1. Take a “Sensory Walk”

Go for a short walk and focus on your senses. What can you hear? Smell? Feel under your feet? Try not to rush. Let your body lead the way.

2. Sit with a Tree

Find a tree that feels welcoming. Sit nearby or lean against it. Breathe slowly. Trees are ancient beings—they’ve seen a lot. Let them hold you for a while.

3. Watch the Sky

Lie on your back and watch the clouds move. Or look at the stars at night. Let your thoughts drift like the sky above you.

4. Create a Wild Corner

Let a part of your garden or balcony grow wild. No mowing, no pruning. Just let it be. Watch what shows up—bees, butterflies, maybe even a fox.

5. Mark the Solstice

On June 21st, the longest day of the year, take a moment to pause. Light a candle. Write a wish. Watch the sunset. Celebrate the light within you.

A Gentle Reminder

Rewilding isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing less. It’s about remembering that you are already enough, just as you are. Nature doesn’t try to be perfect—and neither should you.

So this June, let’s step outside. Let’s breathe. Let’s listen. Let’s come back to the wild, wise world that’s been waiting for us all along.
