Words cannot express how grateful I am.

The singing, the laughter, the love.

Conversations in the sun, over food, homemade juices and jolly good folks!

Im jiggered, so will post more information tomorrow 🌿

Here to connection and community

Today is all about getting ready for tomorrow 🌿✨

Gazebos to put up.
Tables and chairs to borrow and drag across from the wonderful Weelsby Woods Café 😅
Food to collect.
Little nature treasures to display.
Homemade juices being made by lovely Lauren Annabelle Thomas
Cakes from Wild Olive ( the BEST cakes ever).
And beautiful food lovingly prepared by the hospitality students at Linkage after meeting the lovely Sue yesterday 💚

Come and step into the space, having a wander, eat lovely food, meet lovely people, breath a little deeper and get a feel for what the Jen’s Den Nature Retreat sessions are all about 🌱

There’ll also be little examples dotted around of the kinds of nature crafts and invitations we’ll be exploring together during the retreats.

The nature retreat sessions themselves are going to be free to access because I really want this space to feel open and accessible to the community. There will be little donation jars dotted around tomorrow for anybody who feels they’ve had a lovely time and would like to help support the workshops going forward 🌿

Even 20p or 50p genuinely helps when lots of tiny acts of kindness come together 💚 So if you’re popping by tomorrow and would like to bring a bit of change with you, that would be wonderful.

Mostly though… I just hope people come away feeling nourished.
By nature,connection, and slowing down a little.

I genuinely can’t believe we’re here already 🥹

1.30pm to 3.30pm tomorrow
Jen’s Den Nature Retreat Soft Launch 🌿

Volunteers will be in weelsby woods car park ushering you across to the entrance.

We’re gently inviting something a little special for the soft launch… 🌿
Jen’s Den has been grown with community at its heart.

From shared ideas, to donated materials, to people simply believing in what this space could be.
So for the soft launch, we’d love to open up a gentle opportunity…

If it feels right for you, you’re invited to bring a small offering 🌱
This could be: • Something nourishing (food to share)
• Something from nature (a leaf, a flower, something meaningful)
• Something to support future sessions (materials, tools, resources)
• Or simply something that holds an intention for this space

There’s no pressure at all your presence is more than enough 💚
But if you’d like to take part, it’s a beautiful way for each of us to leave a little piece of ourselves here.🌿
A way of saying… this space belongs to all of us.🙏

One small thing from each person becomes something much bigger together 🌿

🌿 A little community ask… 🌿
I need a gazebo 😆

As many of you know, Jen’s Den Nature Retreat is having its soft launch on the 10th May 💚

This space has been built slowly, gently, and with so much love using repurposed materials and the support of this incredible community.

Because this is completely self-funded, I’m trying to keep costs as low as possible so I can keep these sessions accessible and donation-based going forward.

So I wanted to ask…

Does anyone have a gazebo we could borrow just for the day?
Or do you know of any local groups (scouts, community centres, etc.) who might be willing to lend one?

✌️It would make such a difference in helping create a sheltered, safe little space for people to gather, present food and drink🌿

🙏If you can help, or even point me in the right direction, I’d be so grateful.

💚And if you’re reading this, a share would mean the world… you never know who might see it 💚

Thank you for being part of this journey

Went stick collecting yesterday with one of my lovely Wellbeing Explorers 🌿
Basket in hand, off into the woods…
picking up what most people would walk straight past…
and me going “oooh I could make something with that” every two minutes 😅

🧺These will become hanging baskets for the workshops…
dot leaves, moss, soil, little plants… all built from what nature already offers.

It takes time to prepare all of this… but this is my favourite part.
Just being out there, grounded, a bit muddy, a bit wonky…
and very, very happy 💛
Workshops start 17th May 🌱
Soft launch 10th May

Sometimes you don’t realise how much beauty awaits us in the heart of Grimsby.
Today, walking through Weelsby woods, the sun was glistening through the trees, the sky bright blue, birds singing… and dandelion seeds just floating all around me.
It felt like everything slowed down for a moment.

Like the world was saying… just stop, breathe, take this in.
And I did.

I stood there, noticing it all, feeling it all… reconnecting with something deeper.
With the earth. With myself.

That feeling… that’s exactly what Jen’s Den Nature Retreat is about 🌿
Creating a space where you can step away from the noise and into something gentle, grounding and affirming.
Where there’s no pressure, no expectations… just an invitation to pause, observe, and create.

In our small groups (just 6 people), we’ll spend time in nature, noticing what’s around us, and then creating together using natural materials that have already fallen to the ground.
Giving them new purpose, before gently returning them back into nature or taking them home.

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about connection.

🌿Soft Launch
Details in comments
Come and experience a glimpse of what’s to come.
There’ll be examples of what we’ll be creating, space to explore, and time to just be in the environment.
Someone will be in the car park at Weelsby Woods to guide you straight to us, so you don’t need to worry about finding your way.

Take a breath.
And see how it feels to reconnect 🌿
