Midweek Mindful Moments

Join me in the woods on the first Wednesday of the month for a gentle pause — a time to come home to yourself, beneath the trees.

About this event

  • Free venue parking

This is a three-part seasonal series running across August, September, and October, inviting you to take a little time each month to reconnect — to the land, to your senses, and to the quiet wisdom within.

Each gathering is an invitation to notice the magic of the moment and the beauty of the Welsh woodland that holds us.

Tucked away in the lush valley of Silent Valley Nature Reserve, we’ll explore simple nature-based practices for presence, peace, and connection. Together, we’ll gently walk, sit in stillness, and take part in guided woodland invitations — noticing, listening, and remembering how to be rather than do.

You don’t need to bring anything but yourself (and maybe a warm layer or two). Whether you’re a regular woodland wanderer or this is your first time stepping into this kind of space — you are so welcome.

Let the woodland meet you exactly where you are.

Frequently asked questions

What is forest therapy?

Forest therapy, also known as forest bathing or shinrin-yoku, is a guided experience in nature that promotes physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Through a series of mindful, sensory-based activities, participants are invited to connect deeply with the natural environment.

How is forest therapy different from a regular walk in the woods?

Unlike a hike or exercise-focused walk, forest therapy is slow and intentionally mindful. The guide offers “invitations” to help participants engage their senses, slow down, and deepen their awareness of the surrounding environment.

What are the benefits of forest therapy?

Research shows that forest therapy can reduce stress, boost mood, lower blood pressure, improve concentration, and support mental clarity. Spending time in nature also helps strengthen the immune system and enhances feelings of connectedness and well-being.

What should I wear and bring?

Dress in comfortable layers suitable for the season, and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Bringing water, a small backpack, and weather-appropriate gear (like rain gear or sunscreen) is recommended.

Will there be toilet facilities on site?

Please be mindful that there are no toilet facilities available on-site for this forest therapy session. We encourage participants to plan accordingly before arriving and make any necessary arrangements.

Can I bring my child to the session?

This particular event is designed as a quiet, reflective Forest Therapy experience for adults and older children aged 12 and above. Due to the nature of the session and for insurance reasons, I’m unable to accommodate children under the age of 12 (including toddlers and babies)
