In celebration of the Solstice, this 90-minute heart-led practice will guide you to reconnect with the living world around you through walking, breathing exercises and journaling in Victoria Park.
In our busy, screen-filled world, nature often serves as mere backdrop. This workshop gently invites you to relight your relationship with it.
Set in the beautiful surroundings of Victoria Park, you will be guided through a heart-centred practice beginning with a gentle grounding exercise to settle, before being invited and guided to connect through your heart with the natural world around you.
Through breath, stillness, and child-like curiosity, you will observe, reflect, and write freely, welcoming every thought and feeling without judgement.
You will then have the opportunity to share your experience and reflections if you wish.
No prior experience is needed. This is especially nourishing for those feeling stressed, disconnected, or in need of a moment of genuine stillness. Do come and experience what it feels like to connect with nature at a deeper level.
Please bring a notebook or journal and a pen and dress comfortably for being outdoors.
This event will run twice during Explore Outdoors; on 18 June for Solstice and 5 August for Harvest.
