Dr Karen Stead-Dexter PhD, MSc, BSc Hons, Dip

ANIMAL & NATURE CONNECTION TEACHER & PRACTITIONER

Dr Karen helps people improve their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing, in a lasting way, by inspiring deeper relationships with the natural world. 

Blending science and indigenous knowledge with human emotional experience, she helps you find opportunities to make an instinctive connection with our world, planet earth, in a stress-free way that can be truly uplifting and transformative.

Having helped people from all walks of life, including those with trauma, PTSD, neurodiversity, anxiety and chronic illness, Karen shares with you her techniques honed over 30 years, in workshops, talks, courses and meditations, both in person and online.  

Summer Well-Being Programme

Experience deep connection with animals and nature to nurture yourself and grow under Dr Karen’s expert guidance.

Starts 3rd June 2024

Dr Karen’s Well-Being Programme is her signature 3-month programme for learning deeper connection with nature and animals, and what that means for you.  The programme runs according to the seasons, and every programme is unique. It is open to anyone but numbers are limited to 16 people so book early if you want to participate. 

Each programme runs for 12 weeks and you will be given different activities to do in your own time each week, all explained and guided by Dr Karen in online sessions. 

 

“I have been absolutely astounded by both of the well-being courses I have attended. The work is transformational and difficult to put into words. Karen seems to share her knowledge and her wisdom effortlessly, making it easy to receive.” SL

Shamanic Drumming Workshops & Healing Shares

Join me and the rhythm of the drum in these fun, interactive, monthly workshops tuning in to this Shamanic tradition of our land and Ancestors.

Drumming has been shown to help ease stress and anxiety, to bring joy and boost mental health and wellbeing - so come with an open heart and mind and have some fun.

Each workshop will have a main theme depending on the season, and I will introduce certain elements, plant or animal wisdom for us to interact with as we drum - allowing you to get a deeper sense and understanding of who you are and of the world around you.

Drums and rattles are available to play or bring your own. Suitable for all adults, including young adults over the age of 16. All welcome and no experience necessary.
