Join me for a soothing evening in nature with beautiful views at Tegg’s Nose Country Park for meditation and deep rest.
Unwind as the day slows and nature prepares for night. Surrounded by the stunning countryside you’ll be guided through a series of nature-based meditation practices ending with deep rest. Awaken your senses, come into the present and connect with nature to soothe your nervous system, support your mind and nourish your whole self. Setting you up for a restful night’s sleep.
Suitable for beginners and beyond.
For those nervous about meditating, clients regularly share how much more supportive they find it meditating with nature as you have stimuli, through your senses, for your mind to focus on. If you’re new to meditation come along and give it a go, I'll be guiding you throughout.
“The forest meditation I found beneficial and helped me achieve a level of peace.” Martin
We’ll gather at the visitor centre and walk together to where we’ll spend the session. I’ll be sprinkling in learnings about meditation between the practices and helping you with your practice throughout. Bring a cup to enjoy tea and conversation at the end or continue to sit in silence and take in the views. This is space for you to use as you need.
“Thank you for a very special evening of shared meditation practice at Tegg’s Nose. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My permission to pause worked beautifully thanks to you. A wonderful evening to reset” Janet
