Cultural Experiences
Women Gathering
Join us for a magical gathering of like minded women at
S
haw Wood
.
These gatherings are special events where we come together to share, listen and connect with nature, ourselves and each other, to gather our breath and gather our thoughts.
This in-person event offers a safe space for women of all ages to unwind, recharge, and find inspiration. Whether you're seeking solace, friendship, or simply a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, the Woodland Gatherings are the perfect opportunity to nurture your mind, body, and soul.
You are welcome to join us just the once or attend regularly as we build a supportive network of connected women.
In the 3 hours together we will spend time in guided mindful moments of forest bathing. We will then relax at the fire pit for drinks and conversation. There will be different snacks or treats cooked at the fire and a natural craft to have a go at if you choose to. We will end our time together with an opportunity to reflect and release in our closing fire ceremony.
Feel free to bring along any other drinks or food that you choose to. We will provide hot drinks but
please bring your own mug
. Thermos travel mugs are ideal if you have one.
Whilst we will provide different campfire snacks or treats at each session, you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch if you choose to.
Seating at the fire is on very low logs, so please do bring a camping chair, blanket, cushion or anything that you would like to help you feel comfortable during your time in the woods.
Remember that we will be outdoors for the whole session, so dress for the weather!
Please be aware that there are no toilets in the woods! Wild wee behind a tree are the only facilities on offer!
HOW TO FIND US:
The entrance to a small parking area can be found on the B6013 at Oakerthorpe, near to Woodside Grove Camping and Caravans.
The best way to navigate to us is by using the what3words app with eggplants.scrum.slugs
There is a metal 5 bar gate which will be opened 30 minutes prior to the session. Please park considerately so that everyone can fit in! If you find that there are no spaces left, there is a small layby across the road from Woodside Grove just a short distance away, or park at the kerbside next to the metal gate. Parking in any of these spaces is at your own risk.
Once parked, there is a path leading up a short hill. You will see a Waterways notice board on the left. A short distance up the hill there is a path to the left, look out for our sign on the trees! This path opens out to our fire pit area and we will be there to meet you.
