General information

Come meditate outdoors in beautiful, quiet, nourishing woods! This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with nature, explore your practice in new surroundings and meditate safely with others. We will be sitting, walking and carrying out nature-based practices in silence. Each themed session will start with a short orientation, followed by meditation practices and end with a group discussion. If the weather is inclement, we have access to covered areas so you won’t get wet. We have campfires in the colder months too.

Dates and time

The sessions take place once a month on a Sunday afternoon for three hours. Look out for the announcements of the next date on the website page on ‘upcoming events’ or in the newsletter.

Venue, getting there and costs

This meditation retreat will take place from 3-6pm in private, eight-acre woodland located near Abbot’s Leigh.
After a brief orientation around the theme, silence starts as we sit for about 30-40 minutes. We then move into walking and/ or personal practice followed by a guided nature meditation. The session closes with sharing our reflections.
Nature meditation retreats are suitable for anyone with basic meditation experience. The woods are eight miles outside of Bristol near Leigh Woods. Rain is not a problem as many areas are covered by parachutes. There are pit latrines. To get there, we arrange lift shares or you can cycle. The contribution for woods hire is £7 with full and partial bursaries available. Please ask if needed. To book a place and for further details, contact Lesley at rewildingmeditation@gmail.com
