The nature nurtured learning and wellness part of the project helped the participants to appreciate the environment, to spend time out in nature to help promote mental wellbeing. Also only pure natural and organic butters, carrier oils and essential oils were used to create a range of products for the skin. The tie and dye section of the course used only natural dyes and recycled materials to create the scarves the choir wore at the celebratory concert at the end of the project.
