Bream Creative Walks on Saturday 14th October and Wednesday 18th October 2023

On the 14th and 18th of October, we hosted our last two Creative Walks as part of the West Dean 3:1 Creative Walk Project with Sara Rickard leading the group.

Art Workshop at West Dean Centre 16th October

On the 16th October we held our first Art Workshop as part of the 3:1 West Dean Creative Walk Project where we set about using our documented nature research from our Creative Walk to inspire something artistic to showcase our love of the forest.

Mindfully Connecting with Nature

Our guided creative walks are a mindful experience for your wellbeing by connecting with nature, all without the fear of getting lost off the beaten track. You’ll enjoy both forest tracks and meandering little footpaths through the trees, gently looping through the forest with spots to pause, reflect and get creative. It’s also a chance to meet like minded people in your local area who hold the same values as you do, building friendships and communities.

West Dean Creative Walk Friday 22nd Sept 2023, Parkend

This ‘walk’ suitable for those who find walking difficult, or wheelchair users, should have been called ‘an opportunity to experience Nature creatively’ because it was less of a walk and more of a little ramble but packed full of goodness including a surprise appearance from musicians nestled into the corner of the churchyard!

West Dean Creative Walk Project Walk 1

Our first walk for West Dean 3:1 Creative Walk Project had us exploring approaches to drawing and discovering routes around Oakenhill Nature Reserve which gave the usual uplift in spirits and excitement these walks so often offer.
