Creative Nature Connection Exploration Day

Do you want to feel more connected, more alive, more yourself?

Join us for a journey through three distinct habitats in the breathtaking Cumbrian landscape, where evidence-led creative practices will guide you back to nature—and to yourself.

This immersive one-day experience will take you through the Lakes, Temperate Rainforest, and Open Heathland. Along the way, we’ll pause to create, reflect, and restore. From ‘Artscaping’ with Earth Pigments, to macro- and cyanotype photography, and journaling, each moment is designed to engage your senses and deepen your connection to the natural world. Leave feeling grounded, inspired, and reconnected.

Come walk with us.
