What we'll do
December Retreat Morning A gentle gathering to honour the stillness and sparkle of the season. Step into a cosy, welcoming space where the pace slows, hearts open, and the simple joys of winter are celebrated. We’ll begin the morning with warming chai and homemade cake, allowing time to settle in, chat, and connect. The hall will be softly lit, filled with the gentle sounds of the season and the scent of spices in the air. There will be space for quiet reflection, festive crafting with natural materials, and time outdoors to reconnect with the land — breathing in the crisp winter air and noticing the quiet beauty of nature in this resting time. Stories will be shared, laughter welcomed, and silence gently held. Whether you come alone or with a friend, this is an invitation to simply be — in good company, and in celebration of the season’s quiet magic. Leave feeling nourished, rested, and gently held by the warmth of community and the peace of winter.

About your mentor
Leni Barker
Rooted in nature, flowing with kind energy
About Leni Barker I’m Leni Barker — a Therapeutic Arts Practitioner, Certified Forest Therapist, and wholehearted believer in the healing power of nature. I gently guide people back to themselves through creative expression, embodied presence, and meaningful connection with the Earth. With a background in Person-Centred Art Therapy and Counselling Skills, and over a decade of experience in youth and family work, I offer compassionate, non-judgemental spaces for people to slow down, feel safe, and explore their inner world at their own pace. At the heart of what I do is a deep love for nature and a desire to help others rediscover their own sense of wonder. My work weaves together forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku), creative practices, meditation, and seasonal wisdom — offering sessions that move with the Wheel of the Year and help people reconnect with both the natural world and their own natural rhythms. I believe the forest can hold us in ways words cannot. That when we walk among trees, we walk with something ancient — something that remembers us. I offer gentle invitations to breathe deeply, move slowly, and listen: to the Earth, to your body, and to the quiet voice within. Whether you're seeking space to reflect, heal, grow, or simply be, my approach is rooted in empathy, presence, playfulness, and kindness. I’m a little eccentric, endlessly curious, and often barefoot in the woods — homemade tea in hand, enchanted by the changing leaves or the sound of wind in the branches. My sessions are open to all — whether you're navigating change, burnout, grief, or simply feel the call to reconnect with nature and yourself. You don’t need to be ‘outdoorsy’ or artistic — just open to stepping into the forest and discovering what’s waiting for you there. You are welcome, just as you are.
