**Private Group walks and Forest Bathing experiences are currently priced at £15 per person with a Pay It Forward option to help those on low income**
How “pay it forward” works. – Instead of paying for their own walk, walkers are invited to make a PAY IT FORWARD donation towards a place on the next walk. This allows everyone including people on low income, or experiencing financial difficulties, to access these Natural Mindfulness wellbeing walks. Those who can afford to will have an option to make a Pay It Forward donation and ‘gift a place’ to someone on the next walk.
There is lots of strong evidence to suggest that random acts of kindness like ‘paying it forward’ can boost our well-being and create a natural feel-good state of being. There are also many people who could really benefit from a wellbeing walk, but in the current economic climate wouldn’t even consider it. I feel this approach aligns beautifully with Natural Mindfulness well-being walks. Learn More about Gifting walks.
Mindfulness based Nature Therapy Walks 1:1 or small group sessions are also available on request. Visit my MBNT page for details.
Please note: Places are limited to 6 people per walk. This is to ensure we do as little damage as possible to the natural landscapes we walk in and to get the most from the beauty and tranquility of a Natural Mindfulness walk/experience.
