A reflective end-of-spring gathering with Wild Minds.
As spring moves toward summer, immerse yourself in the final days of the Festival of Blossom in this session offering space to pause, reflect and gently mark seasonal change.
Together we’ll enjoy a slow, mindful wander, noticing what has shifted since early Spring, followed by a calm creative activity using fallen petals and leaves. Through optional reflection prompts and simple nature-based art, we’ll explore memory, change and gratitude.
This is a quiet, supportive session focused on wellbeing, creativity and connection to place – with no pressure to share or participate in any particular way.
A minimum of 6 people are required for these sessions to go ahead.
