Connect to Nature

It is becoming common knowledge how important connecting to nature is for wellbeing. We all know that we feel better getting out in nature, breathing fresh air, noticing the beauty around us, and finding peace.

However, more research is showing that connecting to nature is important for lots of other reasons, particularly if we want to make our planet a better place. In order to fix the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis, we need people to feel so connected to nature, that they feel a part of nature. To do this we need to take time to pause and engage our senses and emotions when in nature, find beauty in our surroundings and make meaning from it. Hopefully, this will lead to people feeling compassion for nature, and taking action to help it.

To read more about this research by Professor Miles Richardson go to https://findingnature.org.uk/ or watch the video below.

We have read some of Professor Richardson’s research and looked at his resources, then put our KGT spin on them to create the resource below. We hope it helps you to find a deeper connection with nature.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
