Connecting with Nature as we Journey through Menopause
Join us for a seasonal gathering where we'll embrace nature and this transformative phase of midlife.

Welcome Circle: Start each gathering with a warm welcome circle. Introduce yourself, share your journey through midlife, as much or as little as you like. It's a gentle, supportive space.

Mindfulness and Movement: Experience meditation and gentle movement led by Ali, our yoga teacher and menopause specialist.

Seasonal Crafts and Activities: Dive into hands-on experiences with Charlotte and Paula, our Forest School facilitators. From whittling with green wood to experimenting with natural dyes

Relaxation and Exploration: Relax in the beautiful Old Orchard space. Swing on the rope swing, lounge in hammocks, or browse our selection of books on herbs, nature, and menopause.
-
Personal Support: We'll be on hand for a chat, offer support and and guide you through activities. We can also share resources tailored to your interests and needs.
-
Refreshments: Enjoy seasonal homemade cordials, herbal teas, and snacks. Our onsite compost toilet means no worries about nature calls.

Limited Availability: To ensure comfort, we offer two subsidised spots each month.

Your Space, Your Community: Rediscover yourself in this supportive environment. A seasonal gathering where we will root ourselves in nature and explore this powerful time in our lives.
