Wellbeing Wander (Moss & Lichen)
Wed, 13 Nov
|Fyne Court
Our monthly Wellbeing Wanders offer the chance to enjoy a gentle stroll with a focus on a particular nature theme each time. In small groups of up to 10 participants our intention is to dive deeper into the wonder of nature around us, share our knowledge and give a boost to our health and wellbeing.

About the event
For our November wander, we invite you to join Joanna for a dive into the amazing world of moss and lichen. There are over 700 species of mosses in the UK (RHS), and a wealth of colourful lichen which between them offer protection to trees, habitat for wildlife and food for invertebrates.
Our session will include poetry and folklore as well as some marvellous moss and lichen facts.
Our Wellbeing Wanders have a mindfulness approach woven in. There will be opportunities for each of us to share something of our own knowledge and the meaning moss and lichen have for us in pairs, small groups or all together (but there is never any pressure or expectation to join in these discussions). There may also be invitations to spend some time alone to reflect.
Fyne Court is the perfect place to explore moss and lichen at this time of year. We anticipate a lovely walk around the woodland at Fyne Court and adjacent land, with a chance to sit and rest and take in the beauty along the way. There will also be the opportunity to visit the courtyard café to purchase refreshments afterwards.
