Light Your Spark - Forest Bathing in Nower Wood
Event details
About the event
July is haymaking time! Look out for Rosebay Willowherb, Poppy, Thistle, Red Campion, foraged by bees this month for this summer's honey. The days and nights are long, so let's celebrate the spark of light everywhere in this month's Forest Bathing session at Nower Wood.
This is a are gentle introduction 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. See here for details on the location https://www.surreywildlifetrust.org/nature-reserves/nower-wood-educational-nature-reserve
We'll meet in the car park 10-15 minutes before to begin promptly at 9.15am, finishing at 12pm.
Science has proven that spending time in nature boosts our immune systems, reduces stress hormones, enhances mental wellbeing and bolsters our brain health. It can provide emotional healing, decrease blood pressure, improve general sleep-wake cycles, improve relationship skills, reduces stress and reduce aggression.
