Reconnect - Wellbeing in Norwich's Secret Garden
About this Event
Join us for a relaxed afternoon in the beautiful surroundings of the Plantation Garden, bringing together movement, sound, creativity, conversation and connection.
RECONNECT is a chance to step away from the demands of everyday life, slow down and spend a few hours doing things that feel good for both body and mind.
There is no expectation to take part in everything. Come along, explore what interests you, meet new people, have a picnic in the garden, or simply find a quiet moment for yourself.
