Our Core Experiences
Immerse Yourself: Our Signature Programs
Our Approach to Guided Walks: We offer two main approaches:
Guided Nature Walks
Description: Embark on leisurely, expertly guided walks through stunning natural landscapes across Victoria. These experiences foster an appreciation for local flora and fauna, offer gentle physical activity, and provide unique opportunities for shared connection. Perfect for individuals, couples, families, and groups looking for a refreshing outdoor escape and a gentle reintroduction to nature’s calming embrace, allowing you to draw on its support.
Currently run monthly, these walks offer a consistent opportunity to connect. While content is tailored to the site and time of year, core aspects are always included.
What both approaches have in common is the seeking of connection with nature, in a safe, exploratory, and fun way.
A Typical Scheduled Walk Flow:
-
- Arrival: Group introductions, logistics, and brief familiarization with the site’s history (if required).
- ‘Presencing’: Commencing the process of grounding, of ‘getting out of our (past and future) heads, and into our (present) bodies.’
- Meditative Walking: Mindful movement through the natural environment.
- Exploratory Sensory Activities: A range of activities designed to engage all your senses.
- Nature Connecting Activity: Specific practices to foster a deeper bond with the environment.
- Solo Time in Nature: (Or duo if appropriate) A period for personal reflection and connection.
- Gathering & Sharing: Coming together to share experiences and prepare for return.
Benefits: Relaxation, appreciation of local ecosystems, light physical activity, fostering group connection, stress reduction.
Details: Typical Duration: 1.5-2 hours | Group Size: 8-15 participants.
