Mindfulness in Nature: Restorative Outdoor Experience - Nature Discovery Centre, Saturday 12 July (Afternoon) | Nature Discovery Centre
Cultural Experiences
Connect with nature using all of your senses, unplug from the rush of modern life and tune in to the therapeutic qualities of the landscape during this session which aims to restore your calm and wellbeing with mindful movement, and nature-based activities.
Jo Tytherleigh will lead you through the landscape, skilfully guiding you to practice mindfulness by noticing both the minutiae and the vastness of your environment. Walking in natural environments and ‘holding a soft fascination’, is an evidence-based practice that connects us to feel the deep healing power of nature.
In this afternoon session we will spend time outside in guided moving meditation through the landscape. We’ll include playful breathwork, embodied movement and visualisation, giving you time to ‘just be’ in this beautiful peaceful area and to drink in your surroundings and relax. When we connect to our wilder side, we can feel fully re-energised and ready to take on the world again. This session connects beautifully with our afternoon session for those who would like a full day of relaxation.
Jo Tytherleigh has practised Yoga and meditation for 30 years. She lives on a small farm in Cornwall where she grows food for her local community. Here she teaches farm to table workshops, promoting local, seasonal food, helping people understand the deep connections between soil health, biodiversity and human health.
