Mindfulness Forest Workshops

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

MindCraft

Thursday Afternoon’s 1pm-3pm (fortnightly)

In these sessions 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 or activities, 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.

Parents can be provided with developmental psychology information upon request. I can also provide mindfulness based stress reduction techniques to help you remain cool and collected, when needed.

To book, please fill out the contact form.

Forest setting

Please note- Disclaimer:

One trial week per family is available, where you can pay for a single session (£10), PAYG sessions can be discussed as an option if needed, after that term blocking is required, upfront, bookings are non-refundable or transferable.

Block of 6 weeks costs £60 per family (fortnightly, therefore a 12 week commitment). This is not a drop-off. Parents are required to stay and are responsible for their own children at all times.

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.

There is no first aider on site.

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.

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.
