Session Information

What is Wild Minds Woodland Wellbeing? 

All of our woodland based sessions are delivered to provide people with opportunities to experience a different kind of mindfulness. Our sessions are always relaxed, and we always have a laugh at some point. There is no right or wrong in anything we do, there is just your way and that’s ok. 

What is Meditation with Wild Minds? 

Our meditations are completed in the woods at Moira Furnace. We are there in all weather (apart from high winds). The meditations are guided by Jodi and we try and provide something for everyone. They are suitable for people who meditate regularly or for those who have never tried it before. 

What is T’ai-Qi for Wellbeing with Wild Minds? 

T’ai-Qi for Wellbeing is a combined mindful movement practice. They are completed in the woods at Moira Furnace. It incorporates T’ai-Chi and Qigong, and its aim is to provide an opportunity for gentle movement and stretching of the body in nature. The sessions are accessible for all and can be completed sitting if you need to. We only ever expect people to do what they can do and there is no right or wrong as far as we’re concerned. These sessions are delivered by Becki 

How do I book? 

All bookings are made via https://bookwhen.com/wildmindsnatureconnection 

Do I need to bring anything? 

If you are joining us for Meditation; you will want to dress for the weather (layers when it’s cold etc), you will want something to sit on most people use a camping chair & bring a drink. For Hammock Meditation; you might want to bring a blanket to cover yourself while you are in your hammock. This will be especially needed in the winter. For T’ai-Qi for Wellbeing you will also want to dress for the weather, but in clothes that won’t restrict your movement too much. For our Wild Woodland Wellbeing for Women and Green Man of the Woods sessions we will let you know if you need to bring anything specific, but the same suggestions apply with regards to dressing for the weather etc. Good shoes are always a must in the winter as the woods can be muddy. In the summer, insect repellent might be useful as there can be midges. For our Wild Woodland Family Adventures, you should come prepared for muddy woodland fun and again dress appropriately for the weather. 

Can I bring children? 

We have specific family sessions available, and these will be advertised as such. The majority of our sessions at weekends or in the evening are for adults only. 

What happens if a session is cancelled, or I can’t attend? 

If we (Wild Minds) cancel a session, you will be given the option to either transfer to another session or get a refund. All bookings are final and if you are unable to attend, we cannot offer you any option to transfer or refund.
