Get close to the ancient healing power of trees in this enchanting arboreal journey. We will explore sacred tree lore and how this interconnects with Samhain and the thinning of the veil between the living world and the spirit world.
You will have the opportunity to sand down a ‘journey’ stick from your ‘chosen’ native British tree, to study the character of its bark and grain. We will then go on a winding tree trail through beautiful Sussex terrain, to visit and spend mindful time with each of these trees. The day will include tree identification and exploring the symbolism, uses, history and character of our local trees, drawing on the ancient myths and the Ogham tree language.
You will be encouraged to turn off your mobile and bring along a notebook to note down observations instead.
The day will start and end with a meditation and will include periods of silent walking.
There will be a chance to gather and connect with one another over delicious cake and hot drinks (GF & V), at the end of the walk.
