Biophilia Walk – Fitzroy Gardens

This 90-minute guided experience introduces biophilia, our natural response to nature, through a gentle walk and a creative mood-board activity.

You’ll explore how subtle sensory cues in natural environments quietly restore attention, ease mental fatigue and support wellbeing, often without us realising it.

What to expect

As we wander through one of Melbourne's beloved gardens, you'll discover:

• Simple biophilic principles that influence how we feel in different environments
• Practical ideas you can apply to your home, workspace, or daily routines (no garden required)
• Why certain natural patterns calm us while others energize
• How to notice what nature already brings you joy

The walk ends with a creative exercise: craft your own personal biophilia mood board to capture the techniques that resonated with you.

Snap a photo to take home as your inspiration guide, you own “nature based tool kit”.

What You’ll Take Away

• A clear understanding of core biophilic ideas
• Practical ways to recognise supportive natural cues in daily life
