    Havin a Lovely Chat with Ciaran Brennan from Stonehouse Forest School

    In this episode, I sit down with Ciarán Brennan, founder of Stonehouse Forest School, to chat about education, nature, and reconnecting with curiosity.

    We talk about the power of outdoor learning, why time in nature builds confidence and resilience, and how children thrive when given space to explore and create. It’s a grounded and inspiring conversation about community, growth, and seeing the world through fresh eyes again.

    A lovely reminder that sometimes the best classroom has no walls.
