Sunday 19 October 1-3pm: Forest Bathing mindfulness and nature connection

Forest bathing is the art of connecting to the therapeutic and restorative effects of nature. It is a wonderful practice that can have remarkable impacts and provides tools for use beyond the session. This session will involve a gentle walk where you will be offered a series of ‘invitations’, suggestions of ways to connect more deeply with nature and open the senses.
