NATURE CONNECTEDNESS WORKSHOPS
Seasonal Forage and Journaling
These workshops are designed to enhance nature connectedness, reduce stress and enhance well-being. By using natural objects as creative prompts, we can tap into our subconscious and get into the right place to work through problems and find some peace and respite. Through the process of meditative artistic work with natural materials, and journaling, we can experience a deep connection to nature while expressing ourselves creatively and fostering a deep sense of satisfaction and well-being.
What does it involve
These workshops involve a mindfulness walk and forage in the grounds of Doddington Hall. A mindfulness walk, enables us to engage our senses to reduce stress, increase mental clarity and foster a relaxed focus. We will use the materials we gather to create a beautiful flat lay as a representation of time, place and season. The meditative act of foraging and gently arranging materials brings a sense of peace and relaxation and the materials we gather can promote profound reflection.
You will be given a beautiful concertina notebook which will become your seasonal diary. You can press and keep your foraged items in your book and we will use the spirit of the season, items you have collected and nature-based oracle cards to create journal prompts for you to write and reflect in your seasonal journal. NB there is NO expectation for you to share your words.
You can attend just one workshop or you can come on all of them to create a journey in words and nature across the year, connecting you deeply to the place and to the seasons.
