"Play Your Way into Wellbeing"
Who We Are
Mind Nature Studio is a non-profit Community Interest Company creating sustainable solutions at the intersection of design, psychology, environmental psychology, landscape architecture, and art. We are a design-led interdisciplinary studio dedicated to cultivating our connection with nature and supporting communities to thrive.
All our assets are committed to serving communities, with a special focus on neurodivergent individuals, people from disadvantaged backgrounds, people with autism, and supporting youth.
Mission
To deliver sustainable solutions through creative, research-based design that fosters thriving communities and strengthens our relationship with nature — creating enduring value for human communities and the natural environment alike.
Vision
A world where individuals, communities, and nature thrive together — where we are deeply interconnected and wellbeing is accessible to all.
Philosophy
"Sustainable wellbeing is achieved when our wellbeing as individuals improves the wellbeing of our communities and the natural environment."
We believe that true wellbeing is interconnected. Our designs cultivate a conscious relationship with nature by encouraging awareness of the behaviours and thought patterns that limit us, creating space for growth, connection, and harmony.

Ear(E)scapes Sensory Installation
A nurturing sensory installation designed for inclusion, fostering connection and support for families navigating Autism — with each other and with nature — through calming, immersive experiences.
Drawing on environmental psychology and lived experience of caring for children with Autism, this beautifully crafted installation creates a safe and supportive environment that directly addresses isolation, encourages meaningful connections, and empowers families through shared self-help support.
Currently in development, the installation will be further enriched with playful activities, workshops, and collaborations with talented artists.

Seasonal workshops
Our seasonal workshops bring people together through the transformative power of art-making and playful exploration, all rooted in a deep appreciation of nature. Sometimes we venture out into the natural world, and other times we gather to craft together — each experience offering its own sense of wonder and restoration. Participants not only experience the restorative benefits of the natural world but also become part of the Mind Nature Studio community — where creativity becomes a pathway to meaningful connection, and art-making a shared language that cultivates lasting bonds within the community.
