This workshop will invite us to slow down and reconnect, deeply with nature. Forest bathing opens up all of our senses, we will step into the woods and bathe in the atmosphere with a carefully crafted sequence of invitations.
We will also immerse in the Japanese art of Haiku to step further into the moment and create tiny jewel-like poems to give back to the forest.
This workshop is free for refugees, asylum seekers, and those on means-tested benefits. Register at innanaturecic@gmail.com.
