Woodland Connection: Nature Sessions for Cancer Support

🌿 We Get It Proudly Presents: Woodland Connection 🌿

A FREE weekly outdoor programme at the beautiful Wise Woods in Box, for anyone living with or beyond cancer. Running on Wednesday mornings during term time, from 10am to 12.30pm.Take a deep breath, step into the magical woodland, and give yourself the gift of slowing down.

Guided by our specialist facilitators, Sue and Sam (read more about them in the 'Line Up' section below), these small-group sessions (max 12) offer gentle rituals and creative activities to help you:

✨ Connect with nature in new ways
✨ Explore your creativity with curiosity and playfulness
✨ Deepen your awareness of the seasons
✨ Build confidence to prioritise yourself and bring these practices into daily life

Spending time in nature has proven benefits for people affected by cancer. Research shows it can:

🌱 Reduce stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system
🌱 Boost mood and resilience through light, air, and gentle movement
🌱 Support recovery by reducing fatigue and improving immune function
🌱 Ease isolation by sharing experiences in community
🌱 Encourage reflection through the cycles of nature, which mirror life’s changes

For anyone living with or beyond cancer, nature therapy offers both restoration and reconnection — with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.
