Join amazing arts therapist Jemima Beaumont-Robberds for a Nature Weaving workshop, a fun and creative way to beat those post-lockdown blues.
Connect to nature, connect to community, connect to self and create your own beautiful nature weaving. In this hands-on therapeutically focussed workshop, you will be guided to mindfully connect with nature, others and yourself as you gather and weave materials to create your own ‘nature weaving.’ Your unique nature weaving will be used to symbolise what you would like to bring into the new year.
Engaging in this workshop will enhance participants’ self-awareness and reflective capacity. The workshop will assist in calming the nervous system and will connect participants to community and the natural world – all essential to good mental health and a holistic sense of wellbeing.
