Summer Solstice ~ a soulful gathering
Friday 21st June 9.30-12.00
Wellbeing cabin & out in nature, Queen's Wood (Highgate)
£35
On the longest day of the year, we'll gather together in the lovely cabin in the enchanting Queen's Wood.
Through stories, rituals and meditations we'll honour this day, the light in the world and the light within us.
Each of the cross-quarter festivals brings its own powerful energy and coming together in tribe to connect to this and to mark this point in the year is a beautiful way to celebrate it and align with the energy.
Summer solstice is the point when the sun is at it highest and the energy is that of fullness and of expression of self. It's the perfect time to celebrate who we are and what we have.
Our location in the ancient Queen's Wood will allow us to work with some old wise Oaks (known as the 'sun king', these trees are associated with summer solstice) along with other plants and the themes central to this moment in the year.

Connecting More Deeply
Ongoing Group with Claire de Boursac
Wellbeing cabin, Queen's Wood
Are you hungry for community?
Could your relationships benefit from clearer communication?
Would you like to feel more calm, confident and comfortable in your own skin?
Do you want to feel more in touch with the natural world?
You’re invited to come together in community, in a beautiful cabin in Queen’s Wood -a tranquil, natural setting- to share stories, learn new skills and explore the natural world through the seasons.
This group is a place for self-discovery, learning and growth. Experienced psychotherapist, nature guide and well-being practitioner Claire de Boursac will support you to learn from your own deep wisdom and from each other. You will be introduced to useful theories and powerful practices to help you:
Connect more deeply to yourself: Our most important relationship is with our self. Yet, with the demands of life it often gets neglected. Here, you’ll give it gentle attention, get to know your needs and honour your uniqueness. You’ll be better able to form healthy new habits to support your own well-being, including simple ‘me time’ practices.
Connect more deeply to others: We’re social beings. Our interactions with others can be the source of great pleasure – and great pain. We will explore interpersonal dynamics to better understand what’s going on in interactions. This can strengthen your empathy for the other and improve how you express your own needs. You’ll learn effective communication tools to use in daily life.
Connect more deeply to the world around us: By recognising how you’re impacted by your environment -be it workplace, home or wider landscape- you can support your own well-being by reducing elements that cause stress and overwhelm. Through nature therapy practices and time in the beautiful woods, you’ll be able to tap into the powerful resources the natural world can offer.
The group meets 6 Wednesday mornings per term 9.30-12.00
Autumn term 2019: 11th Sept, 25th Sept, 9th Oct, 30th Oct, 13th Nov, 27th Nov

The Seasonal Self
Summer session
Wednesday 17th July 9.30-12.00
Cabin in Queen's Woods (Highgate)
£35
Each season Claire invites you to spend some time connecting with nature, yourself and others in one of London’s beautiful green spaces.
Through a blend of mindful walking, meditation, seasonally-inspired exercises and discussions you will be supported to leave behind the hectic pace and demands of the city and connect with the natural world.
You will be supported to really notice the sights, sounds and smells of the natural environment and the unique qualities and characteristics of this place, this moment, this season.
When we pay attention to nature in this way and witness where she is in her cycle of the year and we look with curiosity and delight, we also discover what is alive in us right now. From this place we can better respond to our own needs and desires, nourishing ourselves and enriching our lives.
Testimonials from previous groups and nature walks
‘Once I went to the first walk, I was hooked! My nature-check every season is necessary to reboot my system from its city life pollution. It's a good gauge of my stress levels... if I find it too hard to remain in the present during the walk, then it tells me my work/ life balance is off and reminds me to look after myself and take the time to recentre during that season. Connecting with nature and my senses brings me so much inspiration. Going back to everyday life feels more purposeful and connected somehow.’ ~ Sharlit
‘I love the format and the way each walk marks the progress of the year. They have helped me to keep grounded and to accept the changes in my life.’ ~ Sarah
‘Somehow it reminds me of a dance. A dance with nature. Claire guides us, and then she kindly and caringly leaves us to enjoy nature.’ ~ Caroline
