Forest bathing & herbal tea at Hardcastle Craggs, to ignite your childlike curiosity and reconnect with nature

Golden Hour Forest Bathing & Herbal Tea

You know what you need?

More whimsy. More curiosity. More wild.

You need the grass beneath your feet,

golden hour in the seeping through the trees

& to bask in the healing power of the woods

Guided by Heather from Wild Heather Wellness, a certified Forest Therapy Practitioner (CMA-Accredited), each monthly session invites you to slow down, learn about nature connection, and enjoy a mindful and reflective time outdoors.

Through a mindful walk with nature insights, a sensory meditation, and a series of exploratory forest bathing invitations, you’ll deepen your relationship with the natural world. The experience closes with herbal tea, guided journaling, and a gentle sharing circle, leaving you restored and more deeply connected to yourself and the earth we call home.

Who’s it for?

People craving calm, nature connection, or grounding.

Anyone navigating stress, burnout, and digital overwhelm.
