This is a FREE taster session to promote our wellbeing groups funded by the National Lottery partnership fund and run in partnership with Shine Coaching CIC. The day is aimed at people who have never attended one of sessions before but who are interested in doing so in the future i.e. please do not book on if you live a long way away and this is just a one-off day out! Thank you for your understanding 🙂
If you would like to hear about more upcoming NatureWell events and workshops across other parts Lancashire please contact [email protected]
There are two sessions – morning (10 – 12) and afternoon (1 – 3).
Only 12 places are available on each so please book early via our website (see link above).
The session will feature a range of wellbeing and craft activities that promote a sense of connection to nature. There is a £5 returnable deposit to secure your place. This is to ensure attendance as we don't want the funded places to go to waste. This can either be returned to you on the day or you can chose to donate this to the project – all monies raised will go towards the running of our wellbeing groups.
The taster session is designed to give you an experience of what the wellbeing groups are like and give you a chance to meet some of the facilitators and try out some activities. The session will start with a short grounding practice to get you to be in the moment and notice your surroundings – and then move on to a craft or wellbeing activity that will increase your sense of connection to nature. There will be plenty of chance for discussion and a break to enjoy a brew and a slice of cake.
There is more information about our weekly wellbeing groups here: https://wildwooddays.co.uk/woodland-hub/
If you enjoy the session and would like to continue attending, there are two free men’s groups that run during term times on Thursday and Friday afternoons. There is also a women’s wellbeing group on Thursday afternoons which has one free place and 4 subsidised places each term. We are also starting a new mixed group on Saturday mornings that will meet monthly from September onwards. The groups are based on the ‘Naturewell’ method, an eco-psychological approach that focuses on nature connection activities but also feature a range of natural crafts and practical skills.
