7.5.22 **FOREST FAMILIES** Leave your busy schedules, 'to-do' lists and schoolwork behind and join us for a soothing, uplifting afternoon in the woods to reconnect with nature as a family.
We know that when children are supported to direct their own true play, particularly when immersed in soothing, inspiring natural environments, they intuitively give their bodies and minds everything they need. They are also free to explore their natural inclinations, interests and passions in their own unique way, free of pressure or agenda.
Kirsty from Woodland Spirits and Jane from @resilient_kids are combining their skills in forest school, education and child-led play to offer an afternoon of fun and exploration; led by the children, supported by us and inspired by the woods in Spring.
Join us for this taster session where together we'll support the kids to create their own 'camp', direct their own adventures, explore what the woods has to offer in Spring and enjoy our own time spent in the calm of the woods. As always we'll follow the lead of the children, but you can expect to experience anything from den building, nature crafts, imaginative games, ropework, tool use, fire-lighting, and campfire snacks.
