About the event

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 well-being 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 morning session we will spend time outside reviving the senses. You may experience aromatic compounds from plants called phytoncides that naturally support our immune system and have been linked with lower levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. The session will include some yoga style movement, mindful awareness and opportunities for creativity, and 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.
