Walking Meditation, Forest Bathing + Outside Yoga - Highwoods, Colchester

Walking Meditation, Forest Bathing & Outside Yoga - High Woods Country Park, Colchester, Essex

A community of nature lovers either bringing their meditation practise outside or starting from scratch with mindfulness; all are welcome. Morning walks start with some breathwork to settle into the session, followed by a 5 senses guided silent walk with body and breath awareness, forest bathing, and optional barefoot walking/earthing practise. Ending with a standing body scan and visualisation meditation.

NEW for April 2025: Outsode Yoga for 45mins before the walk! Join us for a gentle sun salutation flow before our walk or only for the yoga. TICKETED SEPARATELY! To join both, please purchase both tickets.

The optional Earthing Practise (barefoot walking) is a section where we can take oit shoes off and feel the earth beneath our feet and enjoy the benefits of being connected to the earth in this way.

Forest Bathing is a Japanese practice known as "shinrin-yoku". Let the soothing sounds of nature and the scent of the trees envelop your senses, as you relax and unwind in the forest. This event offers a unique opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, and to reconnect with yourself and the natural world. No previous experience is required, just an open mind and a willingness to explore the healing power of nature.

Please arrive 10 mins before the start of Yoga or 5 mins before the start of the walk.

If joining for the Yoga then please bring a blanket and/or Yoga Mat. Or you can practise directly on the earth if you wish. A couple of spares are available.

Info: Not required to book yoga. Walk can be booked separately. If joining for yoga, please arrived 10 mins early at 08:50 so we have time to gather and walk to our location.

Info: Please arrive at least 5 mins early so you can check in
