Mindful Well Creations

Derbyshire Mind, in partnership with Chatsworth, will be hosting wellbeing sessions as part of the Celebrating the Cascade project.

The September session will be hosted by the wonderful, Spiral Arts.

The details of the what the session will look like are as follows:

‘Mindful Well Creations’ offers individual well dressing mosaics. The session begins with collecting foliage and flowers from Chatsworth in the morning, followed by learning about the Derbyshire Well Dressing tradition.

Participants will craft a design on soft clay and then form a living mosaic using petals and natural foliage. The session offers a rich tactile and sensory experience, incorporating the aromas of petals, seeds, and peppercorns, along with the varied textures of cones, fleece, and eggshells.

These creations can be kept fresh by misting with water or rainwater, placed outdoors as a garden feature, or left at Chatsworth as a temporary tribute to the project.

What is Wellbeing at Chatsworth?

The Wellbeing at Chatsworth sessions have been created to delight and inspire you. We invite you to enjoy the calm and beauty of nature in the garden and wider landscape. Find balance as you step away from daily routines and pause with us by still and flowing waters. We invite you to open your heart and mind to the environment and connect with our wonderful surroundings.
