Family Mindful Day: The Wonders of Nature

A family mindful day at Earth Trust. Slow down, breathe deeply, and discover the magic of being present in nature – together.

Join us for ‘The Wonders of Nature’, a gentle and grounding Family Mindful Day that invites children and grown-ups alike to explore the beauty of Earth Trust’s Broad Arboretum through mindful attention and creative connection.

Enjoy activities such as a guided walk through the beautiful arboretum, a willow craft session, where you’ll be weaving nature’s materials into simple and beautiful creations, a nature collection to gather natural treasures to take back to the Earth Lab for observation and reflection, and much more.

After the walk, we’ll return to the Earth Trust gardens for story time and lunch together in a peaceful outdoor setting, with sensory activities.
