Britain's What's On Event Guide
Mindfulness in Nature, Mindful Yoga and Sensory Nature Journey
Two workshops to help you connect with nature using all of your senses, unplug from the rush of modern life & tune into the therapeutic qualities of the landscape. These sessions aim to restore your calm & well-being with mindful movement & nature-based activities. Book the full day or come to either the morning or afternoon. Tea, coffee & biscuits provided.
Jo Tytherleigh will lead you through the landscape, skilfully guiding you to practice mindfulness by noticing both the minutiae & the vastness of your environment. Walking in natural environments & ‘holding a soft fascination’ is an evidence-based practice that connects us to feel the deep healing power of nature.
Morning Session: Mindful Yoga & Sensory Nature Journey: Rooted in Calm
In the morning session we will spend time outside reviving the senses. You may experience aromatic compounds from plants called phytoncides that naturally support our immune system & have been linked with lower levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. The session will include some yoga style movement, mindful awareness & opportunities for creativity, & connects beautifully with our afternoon session for those who would like a full day of relaxation.
Afternoon Session: Mindfulness in Nature: Restorative Outdoor Experience (Walk)
In the afternoon session we will spend time outside in guided moving meditation through the landscape. We’ll include playful breathwork, embodied movement & visualisation, giving you time to ‘just be’ in this beautiful peaceful area & to drink in your surroundings & relax. When we connect to our wilder side, we can feel fully re-energised & ready to take on the world again. This session connects beautifully with our morning session for those who would like a full day of relaxation.
