SUMMARY:Springtime Embroidery Workshop: Stitching Folklore & Nature
DESCRIPTION:Nature has shaped the way we see and understand the world\, and this is why it plays such a prominent role in folklore. Many plants are deeply woven into stories and traditions\, often linked with protection\, healing\, and renewal. Their medicinal properties have not only contributed to folklore but also to the rich cultural practices of communities for centuries. \nIn this relaxing and creative workshop\, we will explore the symbolism and historical uses of four British springtime plants: daffodil\, snake’s head fritillary\, bluebell\, and yarrow. These plants are celebrated for their connections to healing and protection\, perfect for the changing of the seasons!! \nUsing simple embroidery techniques\, participants will stitch a spring meadow illustration\, learning a variety of embroidery stitches such as backstitch\, whipped stitch and French knots. The design will be framed within the hoop\, allowing you to take home a beautiful\, nature-inspired ornament that can be displayed as a decorative piece. \nThis workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some embroidery experience. All materials will be provided. The session will last approximately two hours\, and tea and biscuits will be available to enjoy while stitching. Please note that this session is designed for adults\, as it involves detailed handwork with needles and scissors. \nCome stitch your own piece of springtime magic\, relax on a Sunday afternoon\, and connect with the healing plants and rich botanical folklore of Britain! \nINFORMATION \nTickets: Standard price £30 / Concession £24 \nRunning time: 2 hours \nAge recommendation: 16+ \nIf viewing on a phone please scroll to the bottom of the page to book.

SUMMARY:Being Mindful in Nature: A Nature-based Meditation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Do you struggle with meditation? Do you struggle to stay present when you meditate? Do you struggle with anxiety and tiredness? \nMeditating in and with nature helps us be present and calm more easily than if we meditate indoors. In this afternoon session we will learn to focus\, to soften\, to meander\, and find joy in our own local park! \nWe will aim to spend most/all of our time outdoors but do have the option to use the greenhouse if we get rained on\, we will ease gently into our outdoor practice. \nMany of us struggle with cultivating or maintaining a mindfulness practice. It is\, in fact\, easier and more natural to practice mindfulness in nature. Nature is a wonderful teacher\, helping us more intuitively tap into feelings of peace\, joy\, and to be more present with the world around us. \nWe also know from recent studies that spending time in nature for even 10 minutes a day has profound impacts on our physiological and emotional wellbeing. So why not start here\, with our wonderful gardens (and Deepti) as your guide! \nWho is this workshop for? \nEveryone! Whether you are new to meditation and mindfulness or a practitioner who wants to deepen their practice. If you love nature you’ll love this workshop! \nWhat to bring \nSunscreen\, water bottle and snack\, extra warm layer\, rain trouser and jacket\, and camping stool/meditation cushion (portable) \nThere will be some waterproof sheets to sit on and we can carry a few chairs from the greenhouse if necessary\, so don’t buy anything specifically for this session! \nInformation \nTickets: Pay What You Can (£45 / £35 / £20)\nRecommended price £35 \nRunning time: 3 hours (including breaks) \nIf viewing on a phone please scroll to the bottom of the page to book.  \nThe workshop will be led by Deepti Sastry \nDeepti is a trained yoga\, vedic chanting\, and mindfulness teacher. She has deep\, abiding love of and faith in the yoga\, chanting\, and mindfulness traditions\, hoping to offer these wonderful practices so others might find their own path to a loving heart\, and peace. Deepti has over 3000 hours of yoga and meditation training and has also taught for over 3000 with teacher training schools and independently. More recently\, Deepti has designed and delivered advanced philosophy and chanting courses for trained yoga teachers and trains aspiring yoga teachers at Yogarise and Yogahouse. Deepti is also a trained mindfulness teacher with the Mindfulness Training Institute and Awake in the Wild and a supervisor with the Mindfulness Training Institute. \nPay What You Can \nWe are offering a Pay What You Can Scheme for these workshops to make them accessible to everyone. We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some\, and this Pay What You Can model offers people who can afford to pay a bit more the chance to support others who can’t.
