A Forest Bathing/Earthwalks Mashup

I’ve trained and qualified as both a Forest Bathing Leader (with TFBI) and as an Earthwalks Leader (with Steve Van Matre) and I wanted to create a meditative but family-friendly experience that draws from the teachings of both.

Moving through parts of Wick Woodland, stopping to heighten the use of our senses, we will mix exploration activities and short meditations to increase our awareness of our surroundings.

The session will last around 90 minutes, from when we meet at the grey boulders on Homerton Road. https://maps.app.goo.gl/XVARWQJtmQz8rJJN8

Bring something to sit on (camping chair or picnic blanket etc), waterproof outer layer, more layers than you might think you need (it's always cooler in the woods than outside of them), drinking water.

Nearbye parking is rarely available at the weekend so please use public transport. The 308 bus runs between Wanstead, via Stratford and Hackney Wick, to Clapton Pond. You could get off at Hackney Marshes Playing Fields which is seconds away from our meeting point.
