Join us for a curated experience day with time in nature, gentle movement, creativity, rest and relaxation. Play, rest and rebalance.
DayBreaks are full-day, curated experiences that invite you to pause, to take time to rebalance, try something new, experiment, play and to prioritise YOU.
This experience day has three parts:
A guided walk - experience the joy of nature with a 2 mile guided walk, taking in the picturesque scenery of New Mills. This is an easy walk which passes through the stunning Torrs Riverside Park and Peak Forest Canal. There is some uneven/muddy terrain, a short steep section and some steps so please do consider this if you have restricted mobility or specific accessibility needs.
An intuitive drawing workshop - we will return to MakeSpace for an intuitive drawing workshop, facilitated by @amy_makes_mandalas. In this session, you will embrace your intuition and explore colour, pattern and ‘zentangle’ techniques to create your own piece of abstract art which you will take home. No previous artistic experience necessary!
A relaxing sound bath - we will close our day together with @holistichealing_mcr who will guide us through a gentle, soothing sound bath. All you need to do is rest, relax and unwind to the sound of enchanting instruments as you’re invited into a meditative state.
