About this Event

Would you like to tune into nature? Let go of stress? Unwind and relax?

Join us for a journey among the beautiful trees of Salcey, once part of a medieval royal hunting forest, and still home to ancient oaks. Our sessions are designed to gradually calm body and mind, with sensory activities carefully chosen to help you move from 'doing' to 'being' - all while exploring nature's seasonal highlights. Our guided 'treelaxation' will help soothe away stress, and you'll leave with tips and tools you can use any time to help give you a mental and physical boost.

Your guide will be Liz Burfield, who trained as a forest bathing guide having experienced first-hand the benefits of mindfulness and nature on depression and anxiety. Her sessions are friendly, down to earth, and suitable for anyone who enjoys being outdoors.

If you’d like to know more about forest bathing, your guide Liz, or what previous participants have said about Wilder Lives sessions, please visit https://www.wilderlives.co.uk.
