About the event

Earlier this month was the chance to celebrate the Celtic festival of Imbolc, marking the beginning of spring.  Despite, this, February can seem like a tough month, so it seems like the perfect time to get outside and begin unpacking our understanding of nature connection through all our 5 senses. These are gentle introductions to forest bathing including sensory and meditative exercises. We take time to explore our woodland landscape, tuning in to our micro and macro awareness of nature and noticing how it communicates with us. The session is 2.45 hours and will take place at the Surrey Wildlife Trust's private wildlife reserve Nower Wood.
