Aims & Activities
As humans we possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature. Peace in the Park aims to hold a space for this connection, through a series of invitations of ways to connect. Journeying though our senses so that participants can achieve :- Body - activity, it’s a light walk around an area. Mind - learning information about the plants, nature around us. Spirit - we connect with nature and give back by being present, caring and expressing our gratitude for everything that nature gives us, such as oxygen, shelter, comfortable climate. Maybe an insect is rescued or a stone removed from on top of a plant. People - a group will soon connect with each other sharing stories of nature, their own experiences. Place- as a slow activity we stop and take notice of things like the light through the trees, the birdsong, the falling of leaves, animal footprints, nuts and berries. Planet - when we take more notice we are challenged to care more what happens, whether a tree is blown over, the bracken doesn’t grow, the soil is dry. Participants express higher level feelings of connection and build resilience. Gaining insight to their issues and finding solutions. People can find support in self care and support the healing process. The objective is that participants can continue with their own development to connect with inner peace through pausing in nature. Healing issues and situations to build day to day resilience, health and well-being.
