Following a mindful and sensory exploration (including simple breathwork and meditation) of this wonderful location you will be able to draw, paint and take-home a lasting memory of your day.

Having got the audience relaxed and open the mind for creativity following the Forest Bathing session, participants would then after a short break proceed to capture nature with renowned local artist and teacher Irina Taneva.

The Forest Bathing sessions will be led by Nigel Grimes, an experienced local forest bathing guide, who takes a group of people through mindful exploration of the forest or woods. The session will last for 2 1/2 hours.

Nigel is a wellness coach incorporating life and executive coaching, breathing training and who combines these skills with his forest bathing and mindfulness in nature tools when suitable.
