Roots and Routes: A Forest NDP Weekend is a Friday-Sunday creative training exploring Neuro-Dramatic Play through body, rhythm, story, object play, nature connection and reflective practice.
Inspired by jungle learning, social theatre and embodied play, the weekend invites participants into a woodland studio where imagination, movement and place become tools for communication, belonging and creative growth.
Led by Dr Sue Jennings and Dr Andy Hickson, this is not survival training or therapy training, but a practical, ethical and deeply creative experience for educators, playworkers, theatre practitioners, youth workers, community artists and anyone interested in the relationship between play, story, body and the natural world.
Taking place near the Brecon Beacons / Bannau Brycheiniog, Wales, the weekend offers a rare UK opportunity to experience NDP in a small-group, nature-based setting.

Trauma is the effect of an extreme experience on an individual or group, such as a school class. It may be caused by a single event (Acute Trauma), persistent events (Chronic Trauma), or multiple events (Complex Trauma). Every trauma has different impacts on children, who often respond with the flight, fight, freeze + responses. The impact of traumas on children cannot be dismissed or ignored - children don’t just ‘get over it’ - as the impact of the Covid crisis has shown.
This webinar looks at the impact of trauma on children and offers simple interventions for teachers and therapists.
