Winter Wellness
Winter Wellness: Nature-Based Wellbeing Series
Winter can bring shorter days, colder weather, and a natural slowing that can feel challenging for many of us. This Winter Wellness series is an invitation to meet the season with care, connection, and intention. Through committing to regular self-care and time in nature, you can build resilience and support your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing during the winter months.
The series offers 3-hour nature-based group sessions, run weekly from the 22nd January through to the 26th February . You may book the full programme, individual sessions, or a mix that suits you. Sessions are not group therapy; instead, they create an invitational, present-moment space where you can step out of everyday pressures and reconnect with what sustains you. Each session includes a variety of nature connection practices such as nature based mindfulness, gentle movement, creativity, solo and group activities, reflective time, and learning about plants and wildlife. These practices are designed to resource you with practical tools for self-care and wellbeing that you can carry into daily life. Grounded in the University of Derby’s research-based 5 Pathways to Nature Connection, the programme supports wellbeing by strengthening reciprocal relationships between people and the natural world. Sessions will take place at Growing Links Community Garden in Gulval, Penzance. By choosing to show up for yourself this winter—whether for one session or the full journey—you’ll cultivate deeper connection, greater resilience, and a renewed sense of belonging with yourself, others, and the natural world.
**Pricing and Accessibility** These sessions are not free. Places are offered on a sliding scale, starting at £10 per session, with a recommended price of £40 per person, based on 10 people attending. If this cost is not affordable for you, fully funded places are available. We will never turn anyone away because of finances so please talk to us about your situation. Our aim is to keep these sessions welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to all. If you are able to pay at the higher end of the scale, your contribution helps support others to take part and supports the long-term sustainability of Nature Connects.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I was looking for a deeper connections with nature, and the course provided for this both in giving me practices for self discovery and connection, which was nourishing, enlightening and at times profound. This course was very giving and I am sure it will support me in many ways for the rest of this life.
It completely surpassed my expectations. I had hoped to learn more about practically and pyschologically connecting with nature. This fulfilled that and so much more. I gained value from the group peers, the experience and skill of the leaders and from the depth of wisdom and knowledge that went into creating such a rich and life-changing programme.
Taught me so much about nature, how the human race in general interacts with it and how individually it matters to me. Increased my gratitude towards life and opened my mind to other people's stories and lives. Everything was interesting and I think the most important thing it taught me was the huge health benefits, both mental and physical, nature has on me.
It was a good size group. The activities were varied and engaging. I learnt a lot from it! It was well led and structured, gave me a chance to take time out from things and focus on being in nature. Highly recommended!
