New Wave Adventure Therapy

17/05/2026

No two weeks are the same as an adventure therapist!
Having launched The Wild Within, we turn our sights to the Gathering of Adventure Therapy Europe (GATE) conference next week in Belgium.

The experiential workshop “The Adventure Toolkit: Tools and inspiration for engagement and practice” is fully booked, and it will be a privilege to deliver this piece with 40 delegates immersed in one of the National Forest locations in Belgium.

We will also be showcasing the international conference (IANTC) taking place in Kerry in April 2028, and inviting GATE delegates to join us in Ireland for sharing, learning, and collaboration as this space grows in scope and practice.

Today Wild Within exhibition, workshop series and fundraising auction opened for the New Wave Wild Project.

With up to 50 artwork pieces, and a series of arts and therapeutic workshops and talks, the theme behind them is very special: creating spaces where people feel grounded, connected to nature, supported and seen.

Philip Stallard commented: Nature makes us stop and be present and each of the pieces demonstrates the different ways our themes have been interpreted and how nature impacts us as individuals.

Throughout the exhibition you can bid on the artwork pieces up to exhibition closure on 20th June.

From the very beginning, we designed our programmes with young people in care in mind. Our previous experience supporting young people who face entering care, and who are care experienced, prompted us to develop an approach that started with the young person. In the 8 years since launching our programmes we have listened carefully to the reflections and feedback of young people over the years to develop and improve the person-centredness of our programmes.

Earth day 2026 is a special day to reflect on the importance of nature in our world and the simple things we can do for ourselves and others to connect with nature , simply by spending time in blue and green spaces , respecting and leaving no trace and our favourite practice of planting seeds and young trees aligns beautifully with this year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” which emphasizes community action to restore nature. 🌳, enjoy the outdoors and nature every day you can

Quiet moments are rare, precious gifts in a noisy world, providing necessary space for reflection, growth, and recharging. Embracing silence allows for deeper self-awareness, allowing us to reset and return to tasks with greater focus

The analogy that feelings and emotions flow like a river is a widely recognized concept for understanding emotional health, mindfulness, and the nature of experience. Allow yourself the time to flow and heal in therapy
