Soul School In Nature
About
Parent-Child Connection SessionsSix joyful weeks of creativity, mindfulness and outdoor adventures in the beautiful grounds of Whalley Abbey. Connect with your child, explore emotions, build confidence and create lasting memories together in nature.
Week 1) Me, You & Nature
Getting to know ourselves and each other. We’ll explore why nature is so powerful, notice what we can see, hear, feel and smell, and begin thinking about our mind, body and soul.
Week 2) Feelings & Emotions
There are no “bad” feelings. We’ll learn how to recognise and talk about emotions and begin building our own Feel-Good Toolbox of calming and energising strategies we can use at home too.
Week 3) The Magic of Gratitude
Discovering how gratitude and appreciation can shift the way we feel. Through journalling and searching for little “glimmers” in the world around us, we’ll practise noticing the good.
Week 4) A Mindful Walk in Nature
A gentle nature adventure using our senses to really notice the animals, plants, sounds, colours and tiny details around us. We’ll check in with how we feel before and after spending mindful time outdoors.
Week 5) The Healing Power of Nature
Exploring grounding, mindfulness and breathing through nature — touching grass, trees, earth, sand or water, planting and gardening, and collecting natural treasures such as leaves and stones.
Week 6) The Amazingness of Me
A beautiful celebration of everything that makes each child unique. We’ll reflect on strengths, confidence and connection, celebrate our journey together and finish with a certificate and Wildflower Patch goodie bag
"Every child is unique, just like a wildflower, and with the right conditions, they can flourish".
** Please note there is a no session during October half term (27th October 2026).
