Wednesday 11th May  Earthwalk 3.30 – 5.0 pm.

An earthwalk has been described as a light refreshing touch of nature. Through a series of guided, accessible, non-threatening activities you will be able to immerse yourself in the natural world using a range of senses. Experience  nature as you have never experienced it before. Our experienced earth educators have been leading these activities long before  mindfulness and  forest bathing had entered the public consciousness. Experience the joy, calm  and well-being that the natural world can bring. This session is aimed at adults but parents and grand-parents will be inspired to repeat the techniques with their own children/grand-children in their own time. Advance booking essential. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/earthwalk-tickets-296873956997 £3
