One Small Step: Towards A Mindful Friendship With Nature
A mindful, imaginative walk-shop to create meaningful relationships with our neighbours in nature.
Sometimes the most effective way to stand up for nature is by listening to what it has to say.
This creative, mindful walk-shop gives you the time and tools to empathise with the natural world just outside our front doors.
Take some well earned time off for this quiet mindful saunter into a magnificent local woodland with breathtaking views. Reconfigure your priorities and gain new wisdom, insight, and inspiration from the great outdoors. Come home with new friends and allies: humans and non-humans alike!
Who is this for?
Everyone is welcome! Friends and family - from your newest descendants to your eldest ancestors. We all need to make friends with nature. For FAQs, see below.
This walk is part of Kilter's One Small Step programme; a series of creative walks, funded by The National Lottery, designed to move participants on a journey from climate anxiety to climate action.
