Sensory Reflection Trail at Dyffryn Gardens

Engage with nature and notice it in a different ways by using all your senses to ground yourself in the beautiful season of autumn.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This unique trail is part of our Fall in Autumn celebration. Fall into Autumn is a series of events specially designed to help you experience nature from new perspectives, bringing creativity and wellbeing into the forefront during the autumn season.

With this in mind we've put together an immersive sensory trail. When you arrive you'll be given an mp3 player and headphones to listen to a specially written and recorded sensory, walking meditation. Recorded by Ruth Huggins from Reflect and Refocus, the meditation will take you round four stations in the gardens where you'll be guided through exploring the nature around you through vision, hearing, touch and smell. Finish with a notecard meditation to use either in the café after your walk or with the picnic/drink/snack you've brought with you, bringing the sense of taste in to the sensory experience.

This is a free event (admission also applies) and you can borrow an mp3 player with the meditation pre-loaded and headphones completely for free.
