Wild Wonder hosts monthly group sessions at a private woodland in Essendon, Hertfordshire.
Seasonally themed with the turning of the year to support your wellbeing, exploring creativity, sensory awakening, reflection, and grounding.
Group Sessions
Forest bathing, known as Shinrin Yoku, is a Japanese mindfulness practice that invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the forest. A gentle, mindful way of connecting with nature using all your senses. It’s not a hike or workout, but a slow, calming wander that helps you relax, reset, and feel more present. It’s inquisitive, freeing and a non judgemental space. There are many physiological benefits such as lowering stress, boosting immunity and it gives you a lovely dose of serotonin- happy hormones!

What to expect
Before the session I had an active mind and a busy brain, afterwards I felt zen, composed, alert to nature and wonder around me.

What participants said…
I loved the first meditation, and the timeline activity. The first one helped me to connect and the timeline helped me to trust and listen to my gut.
Isabel
By the end of the session I felt chilled, happy, connected and renewed.
