Press Pause & Play
A monthly holistic wellness group in nature
Every third Tuesday of the month , 9.30am - 12.30pm in Crowborough
What to Expect
A chance to step away from the stresses and strains of everyday life: overthinking, strained relationships, overthinking, the pressures of work and responsibility, and the constant pull of screens.
Press Pause & Play is a monthly space to slow down, reconnect and come home to yourself. Together we’ll care for our bodies, hearts and minds, play freely, share openly, create with our hands and allow ourselves to truly rest. You will leave feeling more grounded, connected and alive.
Why You Might Like To Join Us
Many of us live in our heads - thinking, analysing, coping, managing. We go through life stuck in anxiety, overwhelm and stress. We’re exhausted and wonder if is all there is to life!
This monthly woodland gathering offers something different: a chance for you to experience yourself beyond your busy mind and reconnect with your whole being.
Together, we:
feel and move, as well as talk
find expression through creativity - process not performance or product
work in and with nature as co-regulator, mirror and teacher
come together in community without pressure to perform, fix, or be “okay”
Here, we practice being fully alive - reconnecting with our vitality, giving ourselves to our desire to share and belong, and rediscovering a steady sense of peace within ourselves.
Group Format and Content
The group has a gentle structure that allows participants to feel safe and held whilst allowing for flexibility, and the mood and wishes of the group on the day to influence the activities. We start round the campfire with a welcome and check in before moving on to activities that reflect the needs and wishes of the group members:
slowing down and noticing 🌿 movement and body practices 🌿 discussion and sharing 🌿 using image cards and nature for personal enquiry 🌿 creative expression through art, story and metaphor 🌿 using the hands to make things 🌿 creating rituals for meaning making and celebrating 🌿 individual, small and whole group activities
We then return to the campfire circle to reflect and close the group. Hot drinks and home-baked cakes/biscuits are available throughout the session.
Practical Information
This is currently a drop in group which means that you can book a place to attend the group on a month by month basis - you don’t need to sign up to attend every month. This may change as the group evolves. The group is held outside in a private woodland space. There is a sheltered area that we are able to use as and when necessary but please make sure to wear appropriate footwear (sturdy shoes or boots, particularly in the winter) and clothing (layers and weatherproof jackets as appropriate). An inside toilet is available.
The cost is £30 per session and £165 if you book 6 sessions .
Please let me know when you book, if you have any mobility, access or dietary requirements. The group takes place at Wild & Green in Crowborough.
