FOREST BATHING & CREATIVE JOURNEY
Tansy & Rebecca invite you to join them for a tranquil forest retreat morning to immerse yourself in nature and awaken your creativity as we enjoy a special connection with Mother Nature at a private woodland space on the grounds of Hever Castle.
This wonderful offering includes a Picnic Lunch, Refreshments and a Sketch Book
£65 per person
This unique workshop will begin with a beautiful Mindful Forest Bathing Walk, led by Tansy who will support you to drop down from the busy mind and connect to nature through calming sensory exercises. This process will support you to feel grounded and present and create an opportunity to access your intuition and ignite your creativity.
In this connective place, Rebecca will then guide you to explore your surroundings using creativity, supporting where needed so that everyone can enjoy creating something personal. This activity is designed to be relaxing, fun, and will be unique to each person, as nature and creativity come together.
A delicious picnic lunch will be served with wild and herbal teas and sweet treats so you are completely taken care of and can fully sink into the experience.

About Hever
This retreat will take place at a private woodland location on the grounds of Hever Castle so is not in the main grounds. This beautiful secluded spot has a wonderful wild feel to it with a base camp circle surrounded by woodland and we will have exclusive use of the space for the duration of the session.
Please note: This area is a separate private space away from the main grounds of Hever and the cost to attend this workshop does not include access into the main castle grounds. We will however send you a link when you book with the option to add the entrance fee so you can visit the Castle and main grounds afterwards if you wish.

In every Forest Bathing workshop, I have held, I am always deeply grateful to see a look of peace and contentment on the faces of the participants as they leave the forest. In our fast-paced lives, we rarely get the chance to find this kind of tranquillity and connection and it can be a very moving and comforting experience.

“I did not expect to have such a powerful experience with Forest Bathing. I enjoy being in Nature and well-being so was curious to try and it definitely delivered. I felt so incredibly calm and at peace. I completely lost track of time and got lost in the moment. Tansy was very friendly and professional and lead us on a magical journey. I will definitely be back!”
