Walking the Wheel - Summer Solstice

Nature for HEART is a series of events and activities designed to get more and more people active on Rimrose Valley, connecting with each other and the park’s nature.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Taco for a series of community walks around Rimrose Valley celebrating the changing of the seasons and the Wheel of the Year, as we leave spring behind and reach the Summer Solstice.

Coordination of this project has funded by the National Lottery’s Awards for All programme and the PH Holt Foundation.

More information: Taco has been working with the Wheel of the Year for the last 10 years and believes it can help people to have a better understanding of themselves as well as the natural world that we are all a part of.

Each walk will explore a different section of Rimrose Valley corresponding to the Wheel's four directions and aims to connect people more deeply to the cycles of nature and cultivate community.

The walks have a specific theme and include activities related to each of the Wheel of the Year celebrations.

This walk's Theme: The longest day of the year, celebrating the peak of the sun's power and the height of summer.

Key concepts: Abundance, light, vitality, energy, and passion.

Route: From the West to the North Entrance, to the Centre and back to the West Entrance
