Time To Stop & Stare

Organised by : Rural Strides

Is life so busy you neither have time to stop nor stare?

Over millions of years our ancestors wandered, tracked, herded, migrated and explored the globe, guided by curiosity and their senses. Walking wasnt exercise or leisure; it was simply life. Unfortunately, our reliance on transport, maps and GPS has quietly dulled that ancient connection to the landa connection that was once central to the human experience.

This June Im leading a small-group Time to Stop and Stare silent walk and woodland camp, designed to help us reconnect with that most basic human instinct to wander, while also giving ourselves the time and space to rediscover our childlike curiosity about the world around us.

During the walk well travel in silence, giving us the opportunity to slow down, notice more, and simply experience the landscape without distraction. Numbers will be kept deliberately small to keep the experience special.

The silence is only for the walk. Afterwards well unwind together at a beautiful private woodland campsite sharing food and conversation, with a natural pool, showers, toilets, outdoor kitchen, cabins and space for tents.

A simple and slightly unusual opportunity to wander, switch off for a while, and spend a night in the woods. Fancy joining me?
