Fresh Air on my Face (Jessica Kingsley 2012) written by Professor Mary Marshall and Jane Gilliard which is aimed at care homes, emphasising the importance of the natural world for older people and particularly people with dementia. They have also edited a new book on ‘Creating culturally appropriate outside spaces and experiences for people with dementia’ which forms the basis of this seminar and challenges us to consider our relationship with nature – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Being part of the wider world is intrinsic to our spiritual well-being, it gives us a sense of place and connection.
