Join me for a Living Landscape Mindfulness Session at the beautiful Howsham Mill on Sunday October 12th 2025 at 11am. Howsham Mill is an 18th century watermill on the banks of the River Derwent near Malton in North Yorkshire and sits within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Originally designed by John Carr of York as a garden folly in the Gothic style, it has been restored as an environmental education centre generating renewable hydroelectricity from the waterwheel.

This session begins with a gentle grounding ritual before moving into nature inspired activities and folklore stories that invite you to attune with the subtle voices of plants and the landscape. Participants may also draw from a plant-based oracle deck to deepen this connection and invite further insights. To close, each person chooses a nature inspired postcard to capture their reflections, taking home a unique keepsake of the experience.

Each participant who takes part in one of my mindfulness sessions is encouraged to create a reflection card to take away as a keepsake. Participants will be invited to write a few words about their experiences at the session, and what better cards to use than those bearing the artwork of William Morris 🍂💐🌼
