Walking in the world mindfully, especially in nature is a wonderful practice. We will be walking together using prompts to connect to each other and to our wonderful local environment where we dwell. The ability to meet other new parents has been restricted during the pandemic and the importance of our connection to others and nature has become increasingly apparent; this series of circular walks address this need. Clare Jackson incorporated walking into her artistic practice during her M.A. and has continued to encourage people to ‘go out every day into nature and feed their soul’. The walk will incorporate an emphasis on wellbeing, an intimate connection to location and nature and meeting others sharing the experience of the day and nurturing a new generation in the unpredictable world we live in. www.people-to-place.co.uk

Suitable for parents/carers of babies and toddlers and their little ones in slings, prams or buggies. Although we love dogs, as this is foremost a baby and child friendly activity, we would prefer that they remain at home for this particular walk.

£10 per adult with a third of spaces free

Absolute maximum of 10 adults per walk To book email clare@people-to-place.co.uk

Join us for a walk along the sea wall at Seasalter to learn more about the amazing birds that you can see on this beautiful coastline. We will head out towards the South Swale Reserve identifying birds we see along the way and learning more about them. Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a short lead.

There are steps up to the sea wall and the ground is uneven so unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

20 free spaces available
