Inspiration from Nature - Yoga, Meditation and self reflective writing

Leigh Doran

We will explore the beauty and tranquility of nature to inspire our yoga practice, meditation and self-reflective writing.

Gooderstone Water Gardens & Nature Trail

There is something mesmeric, mystical and deeply educational when we spend time in nature.There is strong evidence of the benefits of downing tools, putting on some walking shoes or trainers and immersing yourself in nature. Its not a deep realisation that life goes on, all the problems, issues and situations we face are part of our daily lives and always will be. There is no such thing as a pain free life and it is to what degree we allow situations and people to get to us.Coming outside in nature and simply being has huge benefits in slowing down our hearts and minds, bringing us into the beauty of the now, even more relevant in the franticness of our days. You may not be aware that trees emit invisible chemicals known as phytoncides that have the potential to reduce stress hormones likes cortisol, lower-blood pressure and improve out precious immune system.When we bring together nature and writing then a narrative begins to slowly emerge. Writing has long been established as a means to explore what our subconscious mind knows but very often we lack the resources and wherewithal to access. Its a precious resource. In nature we find metaphors ( a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else) for our own experiences as humans that we never considered before. An open and curious mind can be cultivated and there is no more beautiful way to stop, be and examine. We will also bring in some gentle mind body connection into our day through gentle yoga (no previous experience needed) and walking meditation. **Please note that the price for the event includes entrance to the water gardens and a picnic lunch.
