ipse wilderness camp out
We are offering a well-being camp-out to a tribe of hearty adventure women and men, hosted by wilderness therapy organisation ‘ipse wilderness’.
This is an evening of sharing, discussion and activities around the theme of well-being and wilderness, all taking place in the magical Brown Rock Woodland just outside Bristol.
After a hearty shared meal around the campfire, there’ll be invitations to explore some wilderness therapy activities, to take part in group discussions and to brave a night walk in the woods, followed by games, story-telling and fire-side conversation.
In the morning, we’ll do some yoga and take a moment of mindfulness in the woods, with the backdrop of glorious views over the sea to the mountains of Wales, before heading back into town for breakfast at the WeTheCurious – the venue for WAExpo2018.
A wonderful way to continue the conversation around adventure and wellbeing, to connect with like-minded people, and to find some peace in the wilderness to reflect and recharge.
