Forest Bathing - Early Solstice Celebrations
Event details
About the event
June is true summer, strawberries, roses and rainy picnics. It's the month of the Solstice, too, which marks the time when day equals night and then, after 3 days of standstill, we begin to see longer days and shorter nights. So come along to this gathering to celebrate the light with good company and great energising seasonal changes. These are gentle introductions to forest bathing including sensory and meditative exercises. We take time to explore our woodland landscape, tuning in to our micro and macro awareness of nature and noticing how it communicates with us.
The session is 3 hours and will take place at Surrey Wildlife Trust's beautiful private wildlife reserve, Nower Wood.
We'll meet in the car park 15 minutes before to begin promptly at 9:15am, finishing at 12:15pm.
