Adventures for the Soul is run by Alison Goodwin.  

She's passionate about the natural world and the outdoors. She holds a BSc degree in environmental management and PGCert in Tourism, Conservation & Sustainable Development. She's a keen fell walker and loves the north of England for all it's wild places. For her, being in nature is the great restorer.  

She set up Adventures for the Soul in 2019 after experiencing just how good being out in nature is for you. ​

Over the last 18 years, she's run wellness sessions & nature experiences for: Manchester University, Creative Support, Red Rose Forest. Groundwork Trust, Walking Women Holidays and Glenthorne Quaker Centre. Participants came from: BBC, central Government, Tesco, Nissan, Jaguar, NHS, JP Morgan, Deloitte, Vodafone, Glaxo, Sheffield University and Lancaster University.   

Since 2009, she's taken people to some of the most stunning areas of the UK on yoga, mindfulness and contemplative walking holidays. More recently she's worked with a team of fantastic collaborators offering truly awe-inspiring nature and dark skies experiences. And can't wait to get out and offer so much more...... 

She's a gentle walks leader, wellness coach, mindfulness practitioner, yoga instructor, holistic therapy specialist and former Zen Buddhist.​

Together with AFS Mountaineering, we deliver Awe walks - designed to alter perception of the outdoors by being out in the hills at twilight and at night. Along with yoga sessions, we offer the chance to see the universe and dark skies and reconnect with  nature.
