This shifts us into a different brainwave state – so often in this modern world\, we’re locked into the “beta” wave state of constant action and planning and busy busy busy. Forest Bathing gets us into “alpha” state\, associated with calm\, creativity\, intuition and “flow”. It has been scientifically proven to give rise to a range of health benefits such as reduced blood pressure\, reduction in stress hormones\, improved sleep\, increases in anti-cancer proteins and reduced levels of anxiety\, depression\, anger and confusion too. With regular practice\, the wonder\, joy\, curiosity and playfulness that Forest Bathing draws out of us can gradually start to infuse and enrich our everyday lives beyond the forest. \nIt can often be hard to step out of the busyness of 21st Century life and give time to nourishing ourselves and our relationships with our wild relatives. But when we give ourselves permission to slow down in this way\, we receive such profound gifts of healing\, aliveness and belonging that it develops its own momentum and before we know it we can’t imagine our lives without it. I’ve found that doing it in a group allows feelings of connection to develop much faster as we all share our experiences and learn from each other’s unique ways of seeing and being – as well as making it more fun! \nI’m overjoyed to be working in collaboration with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust to offer these sessions at Clowes Wood Nature Reserve\, one of the most beautiful and biodiverse woodlands in the Midlands. 10% of all ticket sales is donated to the Trust to help maintain the Woods for the benefit of wildlife and humans alike. \nPlease note that these sessions are not suitable for children or pets. \nBooking closes at 5pm the day before the session to ensure I’m able to get the confirmation pack to you in time. \nAccessibility information: There is a 15-20 minute scenic walk over uneven ground from the meeting point to the forest\, and back again at the end. Once inside the forest there will be a little more walking at a slower pace\, but the ground can be uneven\, muddy\, and in places a bit hilly. If you have any concerns about the level of physical activity involved please contact me on hello@healingearthways.co.uk. \nThere’s often an invitation to sit on the ground at various points during the session – if this is difficult for you I recommend bringing a folding chair or folding stool – if you don’t have one I can usually lend you one. \nREFUNDS / TRANSFERS POLICY: Please note that group sizes are kept small to maintain the quality of the experience so in order to honour the time\, expertise and hard work I put into running these sessions\, tickets can only be refunded more than 7 days before the event. Bookings can be transferred to a new date with the following time scales and fees: \nMore than 7 days before the event: free of charge \n7 days or less before the event: transfer fee of £10 \nLess than 12 hours – unfortunately due to how the ticketing system works\, I’m unable to transfer tickets with less than 12 hours notice URL:https://www.benawell.com/event/forest-bathing-at-clowes-wood-solihull-3/ LOCATION:Clowes Wood\, meet at Malthouse Lane Recreation Ground Car Park\, Earlswood\, Solihull\, West Midlands\, B94 5RZ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Exercise/Sport ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.benawell.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/4ad1b2ad490ac22e2ba65d6660d5fbed.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240224T094500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240224T103000 DTSTAMP:20260502T025831 CREATED:20240213T151216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240213T151239Z UID:14400-1708767900-1708770600@www.benawell.com SUMMARY:Park Active - Stevens Park\, Wollescote DESCRIPTION:Park Active sessions are free\, weekly fitness sessions led by trained volunteers in your local park.

Our dreams can become a reality\, if we believe they can. During this gong bath we will focus on what our desires are and have some fun during our meditation\, visualising our dreams. Meditation is an excellent way to get in tune with our minds and focus on what we want out of this beautiful life we have been blessed with. \nLet the sound penetrate your mind body and soul to help remove stagnant energy and leave the stresses of everyday life behind you. \nYou can expect a deeply relaxing space which helps combat stress and anxiety\, quieting the mind\, leaving you feeling stress free and calm. It is reported that 30 minutes in a gong bath is equivalent to 4 hours sleep! It boosts the immune system and aids circulation. \nEvery Gong Bath is a very personal experience\, depending on where you are on your journey through life. Ancient Sounds may be your first or 101st experience of sound therapy but you will be warmly welcomed and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. \nDuring the gong bath the brain naturally goes into theta & alpha brain waves\, which helps to promote a state of deep relaxation\, clarity & meditation. Some people relax completely so that they fall asleep – if this happens your subconscious state of mind will continue with the relaxation process. \nAbout Andrew \nAncient Sounds manifested itself through Andrew’s love of all things spiritual and holistic. Over a 25 year spiritual awakening Andrew has built up an excellent reputation of crystal therapy\, Reiki healing (he is a Reiki master)\, leading courses on psychic development\, crystal therapy and drumming circles. \nIn 2019 Andrew created his first sound therapy CD ‘Calling The Ancients’\, using an array of quartz singing bowls. This has now led to the development of a unique sound bath using gongs\, singing bowls and other instruments. \nPlease be aware that manifestation is something that only the person can do for themselves. This gong bath is to get you in a calm\, relaxed state of mind so that you can really think about your manifestations and what you need to do to make them a reality. \nWhat to Bring with You? \nA yoga mat (optional) we provide yoga mats to lie on but feel free to bring your own. \nPillows/cushions – we do have a few cushions however we recommend bringing your own and however many you like to be as comfy as possible. \nBlanket – again we do have blankets but we recommend bringing your own\, some people even bring a duvet! \nEye mask- on the lighter evenings you may want to bring an eye mask or eye pillow with you to block out the evening sunlight \nBottle of water \nWear comfy clothes\, layers\, warm socks- we recommend wearing whatever you feel comfortable in. As you will be lying down for 45 mins – 1 hour you may get a little cold during the colder months so wrap up warm \n \nWhat to do at the session? \nAndrew will greet you at the door\, then you will be taken upstairs to the middle floor where you will take your shoes off and leave any bags. You will then be taken upstairs where you can choose your yoga mat and your space. \nAndrew will then explain a little about gongs and what he will be doing during your sound bath. \nThen lie back\, get comfy and let the sounds of the gongs take you into deep relaxing state! \nCheck out Cheryl’s blog on her experience at one of our gong baths! \nhttps://www.mossandmoon.co.uk/post/my-first-gong-bath?fbclid=IwAR1rVO5ul50MmIrip2HsxSfTRtwCgi0ME8S79ZQyPQlFN08H1TiH7P7t0ro \nFAQ \nQ: How long is the gong bath session? \n \nA: Usually 45 – minutes \n \nQ: Do I need any special clothing? \n \nA: No\, just warm and comfortable\, loose clothing.
