About this session
Hi everyone and welcome to GoodGym Greenwich!
We're a friendly and social group who combine running with volunteering in the local community. We meet every Wednesday to get active and do a physical task for charities and community organisations in the area. This week we're joining forces with GoodGym Bexley for something a little different!
This week's extra special session!
This week we've got a treat. We've done some work in the woodlands of the Memorial Hospital to spread woodchip in a clearing that's been created for mindfulness sessions, bonfires and time to connect with nature for patients and staff in the hospital. This week, Creative Nature HQ and Oxleas in Bloom are putting on a special session for us to enjoy - see below for all the juicy details!
Join us for immersive sessions in the woodland area at Memorial Hospital, where nature meets ancient craft and mindfulness.
Whatโs On Offer?
- Mindful time in nature - reduce stress, boost wellbeing, and reconnect with the outdoors.
- Learn ancient crafts - try your hand at wood carving, weaving, and other traditional skills.
- Create something lasting - help build a beautiful, sustainable space for all to enjoy.
- Guided by experts - the Creative Nature HQ team will lead each session with care and creativity.
- Pause and recharge - have a warm cup of herbal tea at woodland by the fireplace.
