Join us for chill nature vibes and gentle wellbeing sessions to reset and reconnect outdoors!

Life Between the Trails – Gentle Nature-Based Wellbeing Sessions

Session Overview

Gentle, inclusive nature-based wellbeing sessions offering time and space to slow down, pause and enjoy being outdoors.

Sessions are designed to support wellbeing through connection with nature, sensory awareness and simple, enjoyable activities. Depending on the session, activities may include mindful noticing, sensory exploration, Hapa-zome (natural leaf and flower printing), nature mandalas, gentle strolling and other seasonal nature-based activities.

This is not a walking group or fitness programme. You don’t need to be fit to take part, and gentle strolling is always optional. There are opportunities to sit, pause and take part at your own pace.

Sessions are low-pressure, welcoming and adaptable, with activities and the pace adjusted where possible to suit the people attending. You can take part in as much or as little as you feel comfortable with – there is no pressure to join in with any particular activity.

No previous experience of mindfulness or outdoor activities is needed. Just come as you are.

Please note: This session is not a walking group. There will be opportunities to sit and take part at your own pace, with any gentle strolling being optional.
