As Within, So Without: A nature immersion through breath and creativity

As Within, So Without: A nature immersion through breath and creativity

What if we remembered that we are not separate from nature, but part of it?

This immersive gathering - held entirely outdoors - is an invitation to slow down, reflect and reconnect with the outer living world and the nature within ourselves.

Through breath, creativity, and mindful presence, we will explore the deepest truth that we are nature: our bodies, our breath, our rhythms and our senses are all part of the same living system that surrounds us.

Through Transformational Breathwork with Olivia, we will turn our attention inward, using the breath as a bridge between inner and outer worlds. We'll explore this continuous reciprocity, allowing the breath to connect us to our bodies, to the earth beneath us, and to the wider web of life into which we are woven. This is an opportunity to release, renew, and reconnect - to breathe with the land and remember our place within it.

Through Nature Mandalas with Ruth, we will turn our attention outward, foraging for our art materials and working creatively with what the landscape offers us.The making becomes a practice of curiosity, exploring what happens when we create from our heart, allowing the natural world to guide us. You’re welcome exactly as you are, no creative experience needed, just a willingness to explore.

Our gathering invites us to practise being with nature rather than simply being in nature.

There will be space to breathe, to create, to notice, to listen and to be still.

A chance to remember that the boundary between self and the world is more porous than we might imagine.

Come and spend some time outdoors, together, reconnecting with your breath, your creativity, and the more-than-human world.
