Mindful Nature Connection Walks

A walk where like-minded people who care about people and the environment can come together to mindfully connect with nature and have heart-felt discussions.

This walk in the beautiful Surrey Hills invites you to take the time to slow down and reconnect with yourself, with others and with nature.

As part of the walk there will be a chance to explore a reflective question about what wisdom nature holds for us, along with a mindfulness activity to help us reconnect with the present moment and nature around us. As well as lots of time for conversation, pointing out birds or trees and a potential pub trip after.

For this walk, I'm delighted that we will be joined by John Blewett who has been working in ecology and conservation for about 20 years including much on Reigate hill. He shares "I have a passion for nature, although that is a term I don’t really like using, as it assumes it is something over there instead of something we are intrinsically connected to. I love to walk slowly amongst non human life and feel with all my senses and be in awe of what we are part of.” We will co-host the walk and invite a deeper connection with the natural world whilst we walk.
