Stress Is Not The Enemy - Workshop

You’ll leave with a personalised plan you can use immediately, simple to follow, and effective enough to make a real difference

Connect to The Forest - The Autumn Equinox
23rd Septemeber 2026
A morning of Forest Bathing marking the equinox. Led by Georgie of Seasons & Solace, we'll gather among the trees to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves and the natural world; the changing light, the last warmth in the air before autumn settles in.
Forest Bathing works on the nervous system, slowing the breath, lowering the heart rate, easing the mind out of its usual pace. Time spent this way, among nature, has long been shown to lift mood, sharpen focus, and leave the body and mind feeling calmer.
This is a morning set aside for stillness. An hour in nature, unhurried and undirected, leaving you lighter than you arrived.
