Welcome to Branacos
Branacos began in 2025 by moving to Kielder Forest.
My primary intention is to inspire people to re-connect to nature , be its guardian and champion , find healing through it and fall in love with its awe and beauty.
In the world of AI , materialism and a steam of endless information i wanted to create something more human , softer , easier and helpful. My diary is my own personal journalling of life experiences and expression of love to nature and utilising what i was taught with mindfulness and mental resilient tools alongside wisdom to free myself of mental struggles which is a shared human experience. I wish to pass on my teachings of resilience , my passion for nature , how i use my photography to connect deeply with nature , how we can free ourselves and also showing you how our ancestors formed relationships to the natural world. To show there are better ways to live and being human.
We all have our own separate realities in life and often believe that we are alone with our struggles and through sharing our human experiences opens the door to true connection and understanding.
Branacos feels that we can go deeper than just nature therapy such as forest bathing which can commodify nature that we can include nature and form a relationship with the natural world, a reciprocity of caring for our precious natural world that holds us and gifts us life. A simple act of gratitude , or a prayer back to nature is enough.
Branacos is in its infancy which i am working on ways for it to evolve and develop. Photographic commissions and maybe other monetized additions so that i can keep building its resources.
At Branacos we feel that Joy is a missing link to nature connection and mindfulness that perhaps we become too serious and focussed on a outcomes missing the point of living our lives in joy and connection.
We are open to ideas and collaborations to share the beauty of nature and humanity into this world.
Maybe in time Branacos will offer physical walks in Kielder Forest for mindfulness , resilience and creativity of seeing beauty which is often missed.
