Slow Down & Reconnect - Sensory Nature Walks & Painting Experiences

  • Location Nunnington, near York
  • Price from £69.00

Highlights

I'm so very excited to offer these new, nature-based, creative experiences. These will be perfect if you wish to slow down, take time for you and reconnect with nature - in a different, yet magical way. 

You'll be based in the pretty village of Nunnington in the Howardian Hills for these series of workshops. Each session will begin with a sensory walk to reconnect with the season and surroundings. Slowing the breath down and taking your time, you'll begin to find yourself again. While your awareness of colour, sound, smell, taste and touch become finely tuned as you move more into the present moment. 

Perfect to then move onto an intuitive painting session! 

Over a cuppa and cake indoors, you'll learn some basic watercolour techniques to get you started. Expertly guided by Ione, you'll explore where the colours take you, while letting go of what you think it 'should' look like. The painting may be a reflection of your walk, or maybe something else. It is entirely up to you. 

Worried you 'can't paint'? In our eyes, there is no such thing. I see it as 'playing with paint'. You can be a complete beginner and not able to draw. Or you could be a seasoned artist, but be prepared to unlearn what you know so you can open up to the magic. 

I truly think this is going to be a wonderful experience - whether you come to one or all of the sessions. A huge bonus will be how you'll feel reconnected, refreshed and rejuvenated from giving yourself some precious time away. 

Seasonal dates: 
Summer - Sun 7 Jul
Autumn - Sat 26 Oct 

Walk information
The walk length is around 2 miles on well defined paths, but we will travel over rough ground and up a hill. Depending on the season it may be muddy too. Sorry no dogs.
