Wonder in Nature at Oak House 🍂🌿

Join us on Monday 5 October for a gentle, mindful walk through the beautiful surroundings of Oak House as we take time to connect with nature, relax, and enjoy the changing seasons.

After our walk, we'll spend some time reflecting on the wonderful Wonder in Nature project and the activities we've enjoyed together throughout the year. We’ll then get creative by making air-dried clay tactile tiles, which will be mounted onto an indoor frame and displayed at the SVI offices as a lasting reminder of our shared mindful walking experiences. @

📍 Meet at the SVI office: 1.30pm
🚶 Walk begins at Oak House: 2.00pm

Come along for an afternoon of nature, creativity, reflection, and friendship. We look forward to seeing you there! 💚
