Sam Murray & Miranda Bailey, The Breath Connection
The Breath Connection have extensive experience delivering in blue and green space settings, using structured outdoor experiences, time in nature, outdoor mindfulness and safe cold water immersion to support psychological restoration, physical wellbeing and social reconnection. Their approach blends evidence-informed education with direct experience: participants learn how stress affects the nervous system and body, then practise tools that create ‘felt’ change in the moment.
