    Deep Connection with the Land & wisdom paired with poetry and activation through our voices. You can feel immediately that Matt shares his passion in regards to the trees from the heart. It is a bright spectrum and he gives so much other important wisdom on the side. He was a perfect additional experience for our Healing Retreat with the topic Divin Union. He weaved it perfectly and has showed us treasures in Glastonbury you can not miss. The whole group loved it so much. The Fusion of his knowledge, art and poetry was simply fantastic. A blessing that opens the hearts and the highlight was to share our voices. So beautiful. The group wanted to sing more. Thank you so much from the bottom of the heart. I can highly recommend his Walks to connect with nature in a different way.

    Matt knows trees. He knows their souls. He sings to them softly and sweetly. The trees we saw are exquisite and ancient. I learned how to recognize the beech and appreciate the birch. He recommended I check out the yews in the Abbey. Thank you, Matt!

    This was a lovely tour I took with my daughter. We got to Glastonbury after a hectic morning and Matt's tour was just what I needed to feel the calm and beauty of the place and settle in. A favorite part was sitting beneath Grandmother Lime and enjoying the poetry and song. Still thinking about that peaceful place. Thank you, Matt, for being patient on the hike up the Tor! The view was magnificent and Rhianna told me later it was one of her favorite parts of our trip. I would 100% recommend this and do it again! Thank you!

    Matt proved to be exceptionally knowledgeable about trees in general, the specific trees on the tour, legends and folklore about the trees, the history of the Glastonbury area, etc. *And* you get music and poetry thrown in. It was the perfect capstone to my trip.
