Explore guided creative activities with Woodland Connections and Derbyshire Mind in partnership with Chatsworth - Celebrating the Cascade

Derbyshire Mind, in partnership with Chatsworth, will be hosting wellbeing sessions as part of the Celebrating the Cascade project.

The October session will be hosted by the wonderful, Woodland Connections.

The details of the what the session will look like are as follows:

Mind in Nature: Forest, Fire and Craft gives you permission to slow down and experience the Chatsworth landscape in a calm and mindful way. Through guided sensory invitations, you’ll be encouraged to notice the sights and sounds around you. We’ll then gather around a small campfire for hot drinks and relaxed conversation before creating a simple clay pendant, bowl or decoration inspired by natural textures in the landscape. A welcoming session to connect, create and unwind in nature.

What is Wellbeing at Chatsworth?

The Wellbeing at Chatsworth sessions have been created to delight and inspire you. We invite you to enjoy the calm and beauty of nature in the garden and wider landscape. Find balance as you step away from daily routines and pause with us by still and flowing waters. We invite you to open your heart and mind to the environment and connect with our wonderful surroundings.

Wellbeing at Chatsworth sessions are specially designed for people who have a mild to moderate mental health condition such as depression or anxiety, or are experiencing low mood and isolation. All services are for adults living in Derby or Derbyshire who are over the age of 18.

Wellbeing at Chatsworth will run between the months of May to October, the sessions will be hosted by Derbyshire Mind, our partners and the team at Chatsworth.

Each session will run from 10am to 2pm and will include:
