“My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style” – Maya Angelou
Feeling a bit flat, run down or even burnt out? This day promises to soothe the mind and nourish the soul. Together, we will explore what nature has to teach us about our strengths, optimising our energy and exploring our inner resources in a space where we can reconnect with ourselves and with nature. Explore your own wheel of wellbeing, discover your strengths, set some goals, immerse yourself in mindfulness, create some botanical prints with stamps from the English Stamp Company and try some untutored sketching in the beautiful surroundings of Sculpture by the Lakes. At the end of the day you’ll feel more confident to prioritise your own wellbeing to help you navigate life’s ups and downs.
Research suggests that time in nature can reduce stress levels, blood pressure, increase our attention, creativity, problem solving skills and improve our wellbeing (Atchley 2012 , Kondo 2018)
The day starts at 11am and we will finish at 4pm. Whatever the weather, we have the use of the Pavilion which will be our base for the day. Entrance fee to Sculpture by the Lakes is included. Lunch can be purchased from the Gallery Cafe or feel free to bring your own food. Suggestions of what to bring include: an iPad, notepad or something to capture notes, outdoor clothing, trainers, small rucksack, sunscreen, insect repellent and a cold drink.
The cost is £45 for the day which includes entrance fee and use of the Pavilion.
