Service Description

A chance to connect with yourself at the start of this wonderful new year! Our session will start in the woodland at The Avon Centre, where you will be given a series of grounding Forest Therapy invitations to connect your mind and body to the natural environment. We will then pause, reflect, and warm our bodies by the fire with a hot drink, before heading inside to get creating some mindful art! The creative workshop that follows will help you tap into your flow using drawing, collage and printmaking. You will take home a hand- made sketchbook to continue filling in over the winter season, perhaps you could take it on a journey through woodland and record what you see?...my aim is for you to continue to put time into your own wellbeing. Session start 10:30am. Hot drinks and snacks provided, but please bring a lunch. Workshop finishes at 2pm. The workshop is set within the beautiful woodland at The Avon Centre, Bristol. There is a shelter if the weather is awful, but we will be embracing the elements as part of our experience! Please wear good footwear, warm clothing and bring waterproofs, in case it rains. See my Forest Therapy page for more info on the research into the benefits of Forest Therapy. https://www.charlottehawke.co.uk/foresttherapy How to find The Avon Centre: Car: Use address below.
