1 hr slow, silent, free guided mindful walk at Grangewood park to engage the senses & de-stress.

ParkBathe is a green health project providing mindful walks and nature connection as a means to improve the health and wellbeing of women who may not engage in wellness activities or are wary of being in nature or green spaces alone.

ParkBathe uses aspects of 'forest bathing', forest school and mindfulness and is simply walking slowly together in a local green space whilst noticing our surroundings (no water is involved!)

We welcome all adults 18+.

The 1 hr guided sessions led by Kelly and Janet consist of small groups (max 12 people) in Grangewood park, SE25 6TU.

* At colder times we recommend wearing warm layers, sturdy shoes, thick socks and hats/gloves as we walk slowly. Please do bring snacks/water/ wet weather gear.

Most places on our walks are offered free of charge. Once free places have been allocated, a small number of pay-what-you-can donation tickets become available to help support the project. We ask you to pause a moment before you book and consider if you can afford a donation ticket today. Donating allows us to continue providing these walks for local people.

For guidance on what to donate and our policy head HERE (https://mailchi.mp/969c164063a4/parkbathe).

* We suggest you book up to 3 sessions so you gain the accumulative benefits and learn the techniques for yourself.
