Forest Horizons

Colin Unsworth (Forest Horizons) is a foraging teacher and creative practitioner who explores the relationship between wild food, embodiment, and ecological connection. His “Embodied Foraging” sessions invite participants to engage with habitats by tuning into nature through the senses and feelings rather than focusing only on identification and harvesting. Influenced by performance and walking as a methodological practice, these sessions explore how foraging can become an experience of reconnection rather than simply extraction. Colin has taught foraging across the UK, working with all ages and backgrounds. His approach is shaped by an interest in how people form relationships with nature, food, each other, and their own bodies, particularly considering the context of modern disconnection from ecology, one another and even from ourselves. Colin has recently completed a Master’s degree in Theatre for Social, Political and Environmental Change, and his research was focused on how foraging performs for personal and ecological repair. Alongside Colin is his partner, Sadie Tann. Her recent research in wildlife conservation focused on modelling fungi distribution in relation to climate change. Whether it is foraging for fungi or exploring wild ingredients and gin making, Col & Sadie’s sessions encourage connection and curiosity, attentiveness, and an opportunity to rethink what it means to know nature.
