About this event

    The health benefits of regular yoga practise are well documented as are the benefits of spending time outdoors in Nature.

    Gentle movement like Yoga and Pilates improves;

    Strength, balance and flexibility, enhances mood, strengthens the heart, can ease back pain and promote better sleep. In fact the list of benefits goes on much further than this.

    Spending time in Nature;

    Enhances mood, reduces anxiety and stress, can improve physical health, improves confidence and self esteem, boosts immunity, forges stronger relationship with the land and again the list of benefits goes much further.

    For this special event Vicky has teamed up with Jen Wilson, The Healing Rebel to deliver Mindful Movement and Foraging next to the sea.

    We'll meet at 10.30 and have a welcoming circle to get to know each other. We shall then head off for a mindful forage, exploring the rock pools and seashore, learning about wild edible and medicinal coastal seaweeds and plants and some of the magical folklore that's woven around our green friends.

    After our forage Jen shall hold a mindful movement session. This will be suitable for beginners and a perfect way to connect mind, body , breath and Nature.

    We shall finish with some wild coastal tasters and a wild drink.

    You will learn;

    How to forage for wild food, medicine and wild crafting materials safely and sustainably

    Foraging and the law

    About how to identify a wide variety of wild plants

    About how to make wild teas, infusions and tinctures

    How to connect with the Earth on a deeper, more meaningful level

    You will end the day feeling nurtured and uplifted, having spent it in the arms of Mother Nature herself.
