Lovely walk today with four women. Thank you for coming. We did a loop round Cliff Terrace and Parc Natur with some mindful activities. Some chat, some quiet walking and being aware of our beautiful surroundings and the freshness of spring. Will be running another!

A very thoughtful and interesting article about the importance of nature connection, community and identity by Maeve Moran.

Maeve Moran interviews individuals from Mid Wales – Wales’ most sparsely populated region – who have worked to connect people with nature and their wider community.

I've partnered up with Alexia Wdowski to hold a creative space, through Forest Bathing (mindfulness in nature), as a grounding for creative writing and art. More Sessions planned as they are going so well!

Alexia and Lucy would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to the Your.Creative.Nature workshop yesterday evening. It was truly special. Minds were relaxed, community was made and stories and poetry were inspired! And thank you to Freya for hosting us all. Look out for future nature inspired creative workshops!

I'll be at Powis Castle this week, for their Wellbeing Wednesday session! What a setting to have time in....

Forest bathing, or 'Shinrin Yoku' in Japanese, is a practice which aims to immerse oneself in nature using all the senses. The sessions focuses on slowing down, encouraging a quiet mind and being still.
