Our therapeutic gardening circles are a place to unwind from the stresses of daily life and come together in community to be held by the land and each other.

In each session there will be opportunities to take part in a range of gardening activities to suit all needs and abilities. Nature connection and mindful embodiment practices will be shared to soothe our nervous systems as we work and each session will begin and end with a short meditation and sharing circle. A sharing circle is a therapeutic practice where we give time and space to each person in the group to express what is present in their life in an easeful, non-judgemental space. Like a chat with a friend who is just there to listen.

Please wear comfortable weather appropriate clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty for working outside and sturdy footwear. If you have your own gardening gloves please bring them but we can provide some if you don’t. Bring water for staying hydrated and any snacks you might need to keep you going. Hot drinks and a sweet treat will be provided.
