Enjoy the beautiful grounds of Goodwood Museum & Gardens through a guided nature experience with Ferngrove Nature Collective.
Led by Certified Forest Therapy Guide (Association of Nature and Forest Therapy) Laura Poorman, this 2.5-hour walk through nature will encourage participants to slow down and experience the natural world in various ways.
This will be a slow wander, with Poorman offering crafted invitations to engage the senses; the walk will include moments of sharing and reflection, and will end with a tea ceremony.
This is not a hike, but a slow meander through Goodwood's natural garden and forest-scape.
Forest Therapy is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in nature, forests,and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land.
It is inspired by Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of “Forest Bathing.”
Please prepare and dress for the weather.
Bring a bottle of water and snack as needed. Perhaps bring a
small blanket or scarf to use to sit on the ground. Please wear footwear suitable for walking outside.
This is a rain-or-shine event, as long as there is no lightning or severe weather; if the weather is forecasted to be wet, please dress as needed.
Tickets are $30 per person.
This event is part of Goodwood’s Pathways to Wellness Initiative.
