Wellness Wednesdays

Please read all information before booking, thank you! 

Wellness Wednesdays offer a space for participants to connect with themselves, nature and community through mindfulness, gentle silence and observational activities in nature. This winter, we invite you to engage in our indoor journalling series that will include guided wellness activities, time and space for expression and shared reflections. This program aims to evoke thoughtful reflections on what it means to exist with, among or nearby nature and how nature holds expressions of us all. Each session will have a focal theme that relates to positionality in nature and sparks the discussion. We may explore pieces of art or literature that align with the topic to help inspire and prompt introspection. A Community Educator will guide participants through journalling prompts. This program is community orientated and aims to bring us closer to nature and each other!

As the weather gets a little warmer, we will head back outside for these programs. 

The topics for these programs may repeat, so please see the topic list below.
