Connect with nature, write with nature

Perhaps you want to connect more with nature without being led, and to reflect on these experiences in a group? Or you may want to first meet in a group to consider what you want from the day, then take it organically from there? Alternatively, you may want to connect with nature while also noting your experiences in a journal? Or you may want to be guided more by intuitive and imaginative responses to nature? Or perhaps you are looking for a combination of things, with reflective processing in a group as part of this?

Certainly, these process-facilitated days provide openings to reflect on your experiences with nature. This may include where you are in life, and what your wants or longings are. These days also provide space to more reflect on what arises for you in the moment, including meanings, associations, memories. Of course, the days may reflect the time of year too, and the season we are in. Overall, these days offer a balance of connecting with nature, writing, and reflective time in a group from morning until the light begins to fade. It’s all about nature connection, and the way nature’s voices mingle with our thoughts and musings.

Venue: Northumberland.

Dates: Saturday 20 June (Summer Solstice), further dates TBC.

Times: 10.00am to 4.00pm

Walk difficulty: Leisurely

Places: 6

Fee: There is no fee for this exploration. Instead, you can buy trees at £6 each via the Healing Trees grove on Trees for Life, in lieu of the usual £50 workshop fee. Planting trees in this grove helps to rewild the Caledonian Forest. Currently, mainly Oak, Rowan, and Scots Pine are planted in the Carn na Caorach area of the Dundreggan Estate (grid ref. NH330187). This is near the Loch Ness and Glen Affric National Nature Reserve. When the area is fully planted new areas will be identified.
