Wellbeing weekends is a six-week beginner friendly programme designed to boost physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing through nature connection and community.
Nature is a vital part of our physical, emotional and psychological health. Wellbeing Weekends provides a space to slow down and appreciate our local environment.
Sessions, which should be booked separately, include:
Sensory Sketching – Use your senses to listen, feel, smell, hear, and see nature in new ways and express your sensory experience on paper.
Winter Wreaths – Make your own willow wreaths ready for the festive season using foraged natural resources from our Coalfield greenspaces.
Mindfulness Walk – Join us for a gentle walk around the park where we will focus on taking in the senses and re-connecting with nature. We will be joined by The Little Company of Calm to practice mindfulness.
Willow Bird Feeders – Help your garden birds thrive over winter and learn how to weave a bird feeder out of willow.
Nature Collages – Forage for interesting shapes and colours and get creative with a natural collage. Experiment with leaves, twigs, pinecones and more to make a piece of art unique to you and your local green space.
Nest Box Building – Learn some beginner DIY skills and make a house for a little bird to make its home.
