Ground & Grow: An Invitation to Connect with Nature

Slow down, breathe, and connect with the earth right in the heart of the city. Whether you're looking to quiet a busy mind or get your hands a little dirty, this gentle session is for everyone. No experience is needed—just bring yourself!

We’ll be using the 5 Pathways to Wellbeing to guide our time together outside the Derby Market Hall:

• Connect: Meet and chat with friendly, like-minded people in your community.
• Be Active: Try your hand at some gentle community gardening (completely optional!).
• Learn: Discover the hidden world beneath our feet! Mark from Mark’s Wilder Gardens will be sharing his wonderful knowledge about soil health.
• Give: Help us care for our city landscape with the gentle option of weeding the flower beds.
• Take Notice: Unwind and ground yourself through a guided mindfulness and nature connection practice, led by a trainee forest bathing guide.

Everyone is welcome to this very first session. Come along, try something new, and leave feeling a little more rooted.

Tickets: £7.50

Option to join us for a drink at the Spirt Run afterwards.
