Wilder Wellbeing 6 week Programme - Isle of Sheppey Elmley

Thursdays 11th and 18th September, 2nd October-23rd 2025

10am-12pm 

We are offering a six week programme, to experience the wellbeing benefits nature has to offer, within a group setting. Sessions are gentle paced, where we will take notice of the nature around us and take part in some simple relaxation techniques. 

Sessions may include

-mindful birdwatching

-breathing exercises 

-connecting with nature through senses- touch, hearing, sight, smell and sometimes taste

-nature identification e.g. trees, butterflies

-nature crafts, drawing, poetry .

Please bring any refreshments you may want and wear suitable attire for the weather. Please note sessions will include slow paced walking and standing limited seating on the nature reserve. Toilet facilities are available at the beginning and end of the walk.

How: Sessions are free, but you must have completed a registration form prior to joining the programme. These are not drop in sessions, but a 6 week programme which we ask participants to attend in full (although we understand events such as sickness may occur) - this is so you can receive the full benefit of the programme to your wellbeing.
