A film celebrating our connection with the natural world

We’ve been invited to share this with our community, and we thought it sounded really interesting.

Super Nature is a new feature documentary bringing together stories from 40+ filmmakers, artists and storytellers across 25 countries, exploring our relationship with the more-than-human world and the places we know and love.

There’s a special preview screening at the Watershed Bristol on 27 August, followed by a Q&A with director Ed Sayers.

🌿 If you love being outdoors, discovering local places and thinking a little differently about the natural world, this could be one to look out for.

🎟️ Tickets and details: https://www.supernature-film.co.uk/tickets/

They’re also inviting people to share their favourite local walks, wildlife and places as part of the tour — so we’d love to hear yours too! 🌳

Watch the trailer, find screenings & book tickets for SUPER NATURE on the official site. In cinemas 4 September 2026 brought to you by BFI. Directed by: Ed Sayers.

It's always lovely to get together with our wonderful Bristol instructors! Here's me, Clair, Rachael and our newer instructors Chris and Hazel, cooling off after lunch and a brief Nordic walk in Ashton Court - you were missed Patsy and Natalie.
We're sporting our snazzy, more practical red tops which have usurped our white ones.
Thanks to our amazing team for all you do, and continuing to lead your sessions through all the elements - wind, rain, ice and heatwave! 💪

The weather was perfect for a Nordic Walk on the Downs today.
We worked on the importance of being symmetrical when doing activities.

So we did lot's of work on our weaker side!, squeezing the Glutes and single arm poling.

Well done everyone, Rach xx
