Susie has teamed up with John from Well Wild for a Morning Retreat in the woods. Join us for a Mindful Exploration of Nature. We'll have some mindfulness and mindful movement in the woods, plus collecting natural resources to make some transient art. We'll also be making a nettle corsage and some nettle tea. Using the bits of nature that are often overlooked.
We’ll enjoy lunch together – cooked on the fire during the session.
Being in nature is so restorative, yet we often don’t spend enough time in the open air, exploring all that nature has to offer.
At the end of the morning, you can expect to feel thoroughly nourished by the natural world. This is all about exploring your creativity in a natural environment, letting go and having fun.
Our morning will be held Saturday 15th June 10.30am-1pm, in a location in Rough Castle Woods. Due to parking restrictions, we will meet at The Place to Pause & Breathe in Bonnybridge at 10.15am and travel together.
The cost is £25 per person. If you’d like to attend but cannot afford this we have two reduced cost spaces at £15 per person. Costs include hot drinks and snacks, and lunch – let us know if you have any dietary requirements. Click here to book your space.
