A free 6-week course for adults of all ages to explore, reignite and deepen connections to the living world and our relationship with it, and benefit from the support, health and wellbeing found within this.
The course offers easy practices to engage with nature and to learn more of its plants, animals, and the land around us through natural land skills, crafting / creative activities, mindfulness, sharing inspirations and wandering in nature. The creative practice will include a variety of nature crafts using materials such as willow, charcoal, wool and wood.
You will be guided to be aware of the living world around us, and how it can support us. There will be a chance to check in where we will be able to share and hear from each other.
The course allows for people to explore and experience nature according to their own relationship with it, to learn and enjoy it in ways that naturally suit them best. There is no expectation to engage in these activities, you can see how you feel on the day.
There is a toilet and cafe on the site. We will be walking down Waterside Valley to set up camp chairs by the river and explore the surrounds. When cold we will have a fire to warm us and heat water for hot drinks.
We will meet at the St Nick’s Church Rooms in the SWALLOW Community Cafe in Radstock. If you would like to come early for a cuppa you are welcome. We will set off at 10am.
