Mindfulness Forest Project

Learn Psychology, Mindfulness and Meditation in a private forest setting with Professional Hypnotherapist Gabrielle’s Guidance, BSc Hons Psychology.

MindCrew Project (Ages 5-11)

Thursday Afternoon’s 1pm-3pm and 3.30pm-5pm (fortnightly)

In this 6-week project children will learn age appropriate psychological concepts, including cognitive and social psychology, as well as, neuropsychology. Children will also learn mindfulness and meditation techniques, including movement and breathwork, as well as, short meditations and mindful walks around the private forest setting, incorporating games and activities, whilst connecting with nature.

All children will be given a workbook folder to take home, this is optional. No child will be made to do anything they do not want to, if they would prefer to use the time and space as a stay and play, that is up to them. I advocate autonomy at all times. My sessions are dynamic and fun, incorporating different learning modalities, art, play and open discussions.

There is a private space which you can accompany your child to, should they become overwhelmed or to practice meditation.

Parents can be provided with developmental psychology information upon request. I can also provide teens and adults with my mindfulness booklets. I will also send you a free copy of my children’s book; ‘Jasper The Sea Turtles Mindful Guide to Sleep’ Available on Amazon Audible.

To book a workshop, or to receive a free downloadable children’s, or teen/adult mindfulness PDF booklet, please fill out the contact form below. You can book on anytime throughout the 6-week course and I will send you the booklets from prior weeks.

This is being run as a Not-For-Profit and the cost of the workshops is to pay for the forest school hire, printing and additional materials used. The price is £10 per family, per session although if finances are a barrier, this can be discussed.

Please note- Disclaimer:

I am not a children’s therapist/counsellor/teacher. I will not be providing hypnotherapy. This is not forest school, no fire pit, food or drink is provided. There will be no work with tools, survival skills etc, however children and young people will learn to connect with nature.

This is a psychology and mindfulness group, being held inside a private forest setting. There are sheltered huts and canopies therefore sessions will run throughout the year.

There is a cafe situated in Willsbridge Mill which will be open on Thursday Afternoons, they also have public toilets. In the private forest setting there is a drinking water tap and a compostable toilet. There is no first aider on site, however there is a first aid kit.

Spaces are limited to ensure I can give each child the attention required.

Full T’s & C’s will be sent via email before payment is required.
