Forest Bathing - Amongst the Bluebells
Event details
About the event
May is the month the oak tree bursts into life, people dance around the maypole and bathe in the pre-dawn dew. It's also the month when things really begin to warm up, both underfoot as well as high above ground. 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 3 hours and will take place at Surrey Wildlife Trust's beautiful private wildlife reserve, Nower Wood.
We'll meet in the car park 15 minutes before to begin promptly at 10am, finishing at 1pm.
