Mindful Forest Bathing Walk with Fireside Gathering

🌿 Sensory Guided Walk based on Forest Bathing principles followed by a gathering around the fire with mulled apple juice 🌿

We'll go for a slow walk up through Bevendean Nature Reserve, with Forest Bathing–style activities to help us connect with nature and ourselves.

Hannah, our guide will offer Forest Bathing techniques to support our connection with nature along the walk.

The walk will last around 1 hour before we head back at sunset for some warming mulled apple juice around the fire.
