About the event

Celebrating Abundance - Forest Bathing in Nower Wood

September has to be one of the most gorgeous times of the year. It's all about harvest and abundance, so we'll gather to enjoy all that this month brings us both in terms of the forest, as well as how it makes us feel on a personal level. 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. 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 approx 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.
