Join Amanda, a certified Forest Bathing and Nature Therapy Guide for an evening in nature surrounded by the stunning countryside at Tegg’s Nose Country Park
Unwind as the day slows and nature prepares for night with a series of guided nature-based meditation practices ending with deep rest and tea in community. Press the pause button, come into the present moment, connect with nature, and yourself to soothe your nervous system, reset your mind, and nourish your whole self. Setting you up for a restful night’s sleep.
For those nervous about meditating, clients regularly share how much more supportive they find it meditating with nature as you have stimuli, through your senses, for your mind to focus on. If you’re new to meditation come along and give it a go, I'll be guiding you throughout. We’ll gather in the car park and walk together to where we’ll spend the session (less than 5 minute walk). I’ll be sprinkling in learnings about meditation between the practices and helping you with your practice throughout ~ always encouraging you to dose yourself in compassion and no-judgement. Bring a cup to enjoy tea at the end with conversation or continue to sit and take in the views ~ this is space for you to use as you need.
