DESCRIPTION:Can owning a goldfish really make you a happier person? Do vie
 ws of nature while in prison really reduce repeat offences? When you think
  of somewhere relaxing and calming\, is it somewhere natural? Ever wondere
 d why so many people escape the city on the weekends? Until very recently 
 in our evolutionary history\, humans had constant contact with nature. Stu
 dies from around the world confirm that interaction with nature (plants\, 
 animals\, landscapes and wilderness) notably affects our physical and emot
 ional well-being. this talk will discuss theories surrounding our innate c
 onnectedness to nature\, and how nature based therapy is being applied in 
 multiple forms in the Western World.\n\nTiffany is a world travelling Auss
 ie\, who is currently calling Cambridge home. She has travelled to 44 coun
 tries\, many in the developing world. Her travels have instilled a strong 
 interest in all things ‘global’\, which has culminated in the study of
  several degrees in the Humanities field. She grew up on a farm and has a 
 passion for all things natural. She is currently researching the potential
  use of nature as method of improving psychological and emotional well-bei
 ng in post-conflict and reconstruction communities.
