NCHS: Meditation in Nature – The Practice of Liberation

Whitworth Park & Alex Bernstein Garden, FREE

Meditation in Nature is an opportunity for you to switch-off and experience a deep sense of calm whilst enjoying the beauty of the grounds at The Whitworth. When we are mindful in nature, we are able to be in the present moment much quicker than if we were indoors, this is because nature offers us an abundance of beauty and our natural curiosity is heightened by the sights, sounds and smells. At the end of the session, you will experience feeling lighter, less stressed and having a sense that you have connected to something bigger than yourself. These sessions are delivered by our Natural and Cultural Health Service Partner, Lilasuri (Claire) Morris from Wild Awake Mindfulness.

In response to Michaela Yearwood-Dan’s solo exhibition. Join us for a meditation in nature session in the Alex Bernstein Garden. Guided practices will invite you to experience the garden through colour, texture, and sound, reflecting the richness and emotional resonance of the exhibition. This session offers space to rest, sense, and respond — letting art and nature support wellbeing and creative presence. Open to all — no previous mindfulness experience required.

Note: To attend, please arrive no later than 5:55pm and meet by the park side reception. Please note that entry to the gallery after 5pm is via the Oxford Road entrance.
