Forest Bathing with Paul Simmons
Forest bathing is a playful, slow and childlike exploration of the woodland surroundings with all our senses.
It is in our genetic makeup from literally millions of years spent in the forests of the world.
Forest Bathing is a clinically-proven therapy that lasts for days. It improves your body’s natural resistance to many stress-related illnesses through a slow reconnection with nature in our local woods using all your senses.
Your breathing will slow and deepen, your sense of hearing will become more acute, your brain will stop thinking of everyday list of “to do’s” and your natural surroundings will envelope you in its peace and serenity. You will be Home.
We all deserve a bit of peace and to slow down. There is no mysticism and “signs from above”. It’s ingrained in our DNA so it’s just about rediscovering the slow ways. Something I reckon we all yearn for.
Writing the Underworld- Creative Writing Workshop with Love Club
Writing the Underworld – A creative writing and poetry workshop drawing upon myth, folklore and the shadows.
Together we will explore stories and myths related to the dark, the deep, and explore different writing prompts inspired by the stories. At the end there will be an optional open mic moment, where you can share words, poems, stories, songs, anything that compels you- something written in the session or outside of it.
Whether you’ve only heard of Hercules from the disney movie, everyone is welcome here, and there is no requirement to have written before! It’s an exploration of myth and stories, and how we can use them to inspire our own writing, or indeed explore our own minds to draw the juice, if you want to go there!
Men's Circle with Joe Coyne
Join Joe for a powerful journey into grounded masculinity. Through breathwork, movement,
and honest connection, we’ll explore what it means to show up fully as men, clear, open-
hearted, and embodied.
This is a space to drop the mask, connect with other men, and remember the strength that
comes from presence and purpose.
Conscious Connection Club with Jess & Joe
A woman’s circle, some mens work and an embodiment practice walk into a festival…
There’s a place ~ beyond the small talk ~ beneath the surface ~ where I long to meet you…
~to explore and deepen our shared human experience through play and open hearted
communication.
~to foster community and connection.
~to move closer to the person who is authentically me, and allow space for you to do the same.
It’s a people party and you’re invited.
In this 90 minute workshop we’ll ground into our bodies and breath before exploring a series of playful
activities designed to foster deep connection. Cutting through the surface level chit chat, come home
to your heart and show up more authentically, more fully YOU.
Hosted by Joe Coyne & Jessamin Landamore Coyne
