What to expect
Starting Tuesday 22nd September, our sessions are an inclusive weekly meeting, enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Watchtree Nature Reserve.
We will begin each week with a leisurely stroll to the tranquil surroundings of Watchtree’s private woodland where we will enjoy a varied schedule of activities, including: nature-based art, campfire cooking, mindfulness, woodland walks and community connection.
We are exposed to all weather conditions at Watchtree! We always recommend wearing or bringing a waterproof coat (and trousers if you have them). We ask you to wear warm layers and outdoor footwear that can get a little muddy and wet.
Our site is accessible, should you wish to discuss mobility needs with us prior to attending, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are a non-judgmental and flexible team who aim to accommodate all needs and make everyone feel welcome.
Who is it for?
This programme is perfect for anyone looking to boost their mental and physical wellbeing, build confidence, try new things, or simply enjoy time in nature. You don’t need any previous experience—just curiosity and a willingness to take part. We have a wonderful team of supportive individuals who help run the Woodland Wellbeing session, however this project is not meant to be a counselling service or in any way substitute professional care.
