The Wisdom of Nettles

What might we gain if we accept the sting of nettle, rather than avoid it? And what might this teach us about learning to sit with grief?
This immersive, land-based workshop invites you to create your own hand-crafted book bound with nettle and painted with hand-made nettle ink. Working alongside the plant, you’ll explore how nature and the expressive arts can be powerful tools for wellbeing and expressing difficult feelings.
Guided by two creative psychotherapists in a beautiful setting, you can work at your own pace and without pressure, learning about nettle’s uses and symbolism. You’ll take home your artwork, an information sheet and a goodie bag.
Suitable for all ages, with no experience required. Materials and refreshments will be provided.
Please note: The site is managed but wild in parts, and we will be working between indoor and outdoor settings – please dress for the outdoors. There is no accessible bathroom, though two compost toilets are onsite. Onsite parking is limited but accessible spaces are available.
