This is a monthly, 6 session course, focusing on wellbeing in nature techniques. The group will be relaxed, informal and you can join in the activities and discussions as much or as little as you would like. Each session will focus on mindfulness with craft, or ID activities that increase your sense of connectedness with nature. The sessions are monthly, on Saturday mornings (10 – 12) on the 4th October, 8th November (1 - 3pm), 6th December, 10th January, 7th February and 7th March.
If you would like to try a free taster session before committing to the block there are Naturewell tasters on Sunday 21st September.
The group is open to all, men & women and older teenagers (if accompanied by adults) are welcome.
Nature connection has been shown to have a strong link to levels of mental well being and this course will give you techniques and activities you can do at home to help you de-stress and feel more relaxed and at one with your environment.
The 2 hour sessions will be delivered by Cat and Karrie, both experienced forest school practitioners who have trained as Naturewell Nature & Health facilitators. Each month we will guide you through a grounding practice to get you to be in the moment and notice your surroundings – and then move on to a craft or wellbeing activity that will increase your sense of connection to nature. There will be some time for discussion with a brew and a slice of cake and then an idea for a take home exercise. Over the 6 months we will try a range of activities as well as having plenty of time sat round the fire drinking tea and eating cake!
