Sessions

The session

Each session may be influenced by the seasons, aspects of Nature, related 'facts', stories, folklore, and our senses.

A session may include any of the following:

• gentle movement to warm-up movement

• slow mindful silent walking

• periods of stillness and reflection

• 'invitations' - suggested techniques that will enable connection to self and Nature

• opportunities to share, insights, thoughts, etc.

A choice of 3 sessions a month on a Monday, Wednesday or Sunday, starting promptly at 08:00 (am) for approximately 2 hours

We cover between 1 and 2 miles

The Woodland

I am privileged to have permission to lead sessions in a lovely private woodland near to Hadleigh, Suffolk, UK.

The 200 acres of ancient woodland is home to an array of plants, animals and wildlife. The dedicated owners and their two full-time woodmen are passionate about caring for the land, working together on their long-term plan, to keep this wonderful space thriving for years to come.

I love the woodland! Its quiet, natural, welcoming and comforting energy, no matter the season or weather conditions and, despite the work that is in progress.

The Routes and Trails

Whilst the woodland is relatively level, the routes and trails are varied.

We may be walking on grassy or muddy tracks, old concrete roads, narrow or wide, flat or rutted pathways, all of which have been crated over many years by the resident wildlife and by man going about his work.
