Explore how nature and imagery can bring you inspiration,
joy and a deeper sense of connection
19 Apr 2024 17:00 - Sun, 21 Apr 2024 16:00
Pickeridge Farm House, Cob Lane, Ardingly RH17 6ST
Do you lead a full and busy
life but still yearn for
something more? Do you
love the outdoors, beautiful
imagery and colour? Does
the idea of finding a deeper sense of peace
and connection in life appeal to you?
Experienced coaches and wellbeing
practitioners, Kate Jones and Sarah
Hardman, will guide you through the
weekend. You don’t need to be artistic or
a hardy outdoors type to enjoy this - all
you need is a desire to open yourself up to
the experience.
You will leave refreshed, inspired and with
a deeper sense of connection in your life.
Forest Bathing and nature
connection
Nature connection through forest bathing
involves slowing down and tuning into
natural spaces in a slightly different way
than you might usually do. You will
be invited to connect with the ancient
woodland with each of your senses using
exercises which are designed to allow you
to be fully present to your surroundings
and which encourage your mind and
body to rest.
Playing with colour and imagery
Visual Medicine is a transformative
creative practice designed by artist and
psychotherapist Suzette Clough. The
practice involves painting, meditation,
journalling and personal reflection. No
lofty easels or art school qualifications here.
Anyone can do this and produce beautiful
results. Through scooping paint onto
dampened paper, the beauty conjures itself.
These two practices are beautifully
complementary and provide a unique way
of accessing a sense of connection and
peace inside ourselves.
Where you will stay
You will stay at Pickeridge Farm Retreat
in Sussex in a newly converted and ecofriendly
barn tucked away in the Sussex
countryside in a secluded valley of wild
meadows and ancient woodlands.
A little bit about Kate and Sarah
Kate is passionate about how we can all
be better companions to ourselves. “We
are so often looking outwards for a sense
of connection and belonging. But for
me, there is great joy and peace in the
connection I experience inside myself
when I am in wild places and when I am
painting, singing or writing.”
Kate trained to be a Visual Medicine
facilitator in 2021. She is also a certified
coach with a passion for using creativity to
enhance wellbeing in her clients.
Sarah has a love of the outdoors and is
never happier than spending time out
in the elements. This is why she became
a Forest Bathing Guide alongside her
coaching practice.
“For me the outdoors is like a partner that
helps me feel more connected to myself
and the world around me. When I’m Forest
Bathing I have a feeling of belonging. I
don’t need to be anything other than who I
am when I’m in the woods”.
... treat yourself
with the gift
of this spring
retreat among
the bluebell
woods in
the heart of
the Sussex
countryside,
for a weekend
of magic and
inspiration
