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:20240224T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240224T163000 DTSTAMP:20260418T030550 CREATED:20240104T140808Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240104T140808Z UID:12765-1708786800-1708792200@www.benawell.com SUMMARY:Sound Bath In The Forest DESCRIPTION:A nourishing sound bath set within the forest space.

We believe that one of the key avenues towards positive mental health is through conversation and connection. Therefore\, we started open groups for Punjabi communities to connect and discuss on topics we don’t usually talk about! \nThis is an open group for those who identify as Punjabi men to engage in a discussion with others around a particular topic\, to listen\, learn\, and share. We welcome Punjabis from all faith backgrounds – Sikh\, Muslim\, Hindu\, Christian\, other faiths\, spiritualities\, and those who practice no faith or are agonistic. \nIn this session on Connecting with Others\, we will consider the following questions: \n– What does connection mean to us? What makes a good connection? \n– Are there any difficulties that we have experienced in connecting with others? \n– How do we connect with others during a difficult or stressful time? \n– How connected do we feel to ourselves? \nWho is this for? \nThis event welcomes all cis and trans men\, as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of men who identify as Punjabi – of all faiths or indeed no faith. It’s an open and safe space for those that want to share their thoughts or simply listen and connect. \nWhat to expect? \nEach month we will focus on a particular topic of importance and relevance. We provide a safe space to both listen or share. Our format usually involves: \n– Introductions and Group Responsibilities \n– Short Grounding Exercise \n– Breakout Discussions \n– Large Group Discussion \n– Group Feedback and Ending \nThoughts can be shared\, questions asked\, or you can simply listen – there is no obligation to share your experiences\, should you choose not to. Anonymous feedback is always encouraged at the end of the session\, so we can continuously improve the group sessions. \nIf you want to\, you can read a blog about what it’s like to attend a Cha in the City open group here.

The sanctuary of group therapeutic sound meditation can be a wonderful place to take your own private & yet supported journey. To rest into the vibrations & let them reach the spaces that the words can’t quite come from or get to. \nIts a place you can let the ear of the body feel the resonance\, allowing it to find comfort knowing that you are held in the embrace of the vibrations\, of a safe\, free space & in the arms of an unspoken community. \n A therapeutic sound space is the perfect place to welcome rest\, relaxation & recalibration. \nAs the parasympathetic nervous system is activated\, your body\, mind & spirit can do its greatest healing & repair work on whichever level is necessary. Whether you look at this from a more linear or spiritual perspective\, it is said that you are given what you need. \nA sound space is a place for our ego to step out of the way & be guided by that subconscious force\, (whatever we believe that to be) & allow the vibration\, resonance & frequency of sound to do its work & help us as only it knows how – reaching only the places it can. \nIn Service \nSat Nam \nEmma \n🐝 🪷 🙏🏼 🤍 \nWHAT TO EXPECT… \nConnection • Community • Meditation • Deep Relaxation • Peace • Voice • Gentle Light aspect. \nWHAT TO BRING… \n• An open mind! \n• Water or fruit tea\, in a sealed container (no caffeinated beverages please!) \n• Soft comfy loose layers in case you’re too hot or too cold. \n• Yoga mat. \n• Eye pillow/mask – or something to cover the eyes really helps you to relax & drop into the space. \n• Cushions. \n• Blankets\, camping mattresses/ self inflating mattress\, deckchair padding\, sleeping bag… etc… \n• Fluffy socks. \n• Anything you need to make you feel\, warm\, comfy & cosy. \n• Journal & pen (optional). \nAny crystals that you might want to have near you or to hold whilst meditating or to wear.
