EmailWe can’t wait to be back hosting our Women’s Woodland retreat day in the beautiful and serene Tortworth Arboretum. Join us to spend a glorious autumnal day amongst the trees which look amazing during October.
9.30am: Arrive and settle. The day will include movement and yoga led by Gabs, surrounded by trees. Forest Bathing invites us deeper into the beautiful grounds, crunching fiery red leaves underfoot, time to sit and journal, notice and breathe. We come together for lunch and chats around the fire and finish the day with creative invitations to play with various materials, and mark make. Tapping into our creative flow inspired by the surroundings.
There will be a sharing circle around the fire, teas, meditation and time for self reflection in the woods.
You do not need any experience in yoga or any creative background to attend. This is for complete beginners. Come alone and meet other lovely solo attendees or bring a friend. It's a welcoming and friendly space.
Facilitated by artist Sophie Rae and Yoga/Forest Bathing Guide Gabrielle Coope
