FAQ
What’s a beta round?
It means this is the first time we’re running it in this format — and it’s a bit experimental. You’ll get the same heart and holding you'd expect from Wild Ground, and you’ll help shape how it evolves.
How much time do I need?
About 1–2 hours per week, but it’s flexible. There are no “shoulds.” You’ll be invited to dip in and out in ways that work for your life.
Do I need to be outdoors?
Not always. But we’ll gently invite you to connect with place, even if it’s through a window, a plant on your desk, or your breath. Nature connection doesn’t require wilderness.
Is this neuro-affirming and trauma-informed?
Yes. Wild Ground has always centred inclusion, consent, and spaciousness. We welcome neurodivergent folks, those with lived experience of trauma, and anyone who needs to move slowly and with care.
