Wellness events

Taking the time to connect to nature in outdoor spaces can improve our physical and mental health. Join us for a series of events which will encourage you to embrace the natural world.

With mindful, nature-based crafts and meditative, forest-bathing walks, our Wellbeing Team are on hand to help you add wellness to your routine.

Crafting with nature

Crafting with Nature sessions run at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, Tyland Barn and West Blean, and are the perfect way to get started with wellness. Creativity encourages mindfulness, and we’ll be exploring this in the great outdoors, using natural tools we find around us. Have a go at techniques including sun printing, leaf bashing, weaving and tie-dying.

Nurtured by Nature

At Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, try a gentle Nurtured by Nature walk and deepen your connection to nature through guided invitations and peaceful sit spots. Slow your pace and experience the reserve in a new way, noticing all the natural wonders around you.

Forest Bathing

Or embark on a forest-bathing session in the ancient woodland of the Blean. This meditative practice will help to soothe your body and mind by encouraging you to really switch off through connection techniques using all five of your senses.

Whichever you choose, the team will be on hand to help you switch off an immerse yourself in nature fully, ensuring you return home with an insight into how to bring these practices into your daily life. Start your wellness journey with us at our beautiful nature reserves!
