Nature is full of wonder and inspiration. Stepping out into it together, we can explore pathways to resilience and wellbeing. Walking alongside whatever difficult issues or feelings we are experiencing, we will tune into our senses and our breath. Using these free, simple, natural resources to begin to soothe our nervous systems, reduce stress and support our own well-being.

Our friendly, walking group starts and finishes at Failsworth Library. If you are joining us, we will be meeting in the foyer area of Failsworth Library. Join us for a gentle paced walk along Moston Brook canal. This walk is led by Kim Harrison – One Heart Nature Connection, the parks team and Oldham Libraries.

More about Kim – Kim is an Art Therapist, Eco-therapist and nature-based mindfulness guide.

Her own recovery encompassed daily mindfulness, breath-work, creative processing, and deep nature connection practices. She now specializes in wellbeing, stress/anxiety management and burnout recovery.
