For anyone who knows me, you’ll know my heart belongs in the woods, on the hills, beneath the trees, walking. 🌿
There is something about walking mindfully in nature that slows everything down. It gives you space to breathe, think, talk or simply be.
That’s one of the reasons I love being part of the wellbeing team at Mind Over Mountains , an incredible organisation offering free mental health and mindfulness walks, as well as partly funded retreats.
Today, we walked together as a group through the beautiful Northern Chilterns around Tring following the Ridgeway, one of the world’s oldest routes, and heading through chalk downland rich with wildlife and wildflowers.
But these walks are about so much more than the miles we cover.
They’re about walking alongside other people. Talking, listening, being heard, connecting with nature, each other and ourselves..
We don’t rush, take time to notice what’s around us, engage our senses and enjoy the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.
And at the end of today’s walk, I found the tiniest, most beautiful jay feather. 🪶
A little reminder that when we slow down, we notice things we might otherwise miss.
Nature really is medicine. 🌳
