• Do you enjoy spending time in nature?
• Are you a women that wants to spend more time outside?
• Would you welcome connecting with other women?
• Would you like to prioritise your own wellbeing?
• Would you enjoy walking, talking, listening to others and being creative? 
• Do you feel a need to find time for yourself?

If you feel any of these questions resonate with you, then coming on this Women's Circle Journey might be just the thing you've been looking for.  A way to take time out for yourself, meeting other like minded people, finding new ways to be creative and re-discovering how rejuvenated we can feel from spending time in nature.  The time will be spent in forests & woodlands in South Skye & Lochalsh, relaxing, exploring and being creative.  

We have three wonderful facilitators that will help gently guide us through the course, through forest bathing, meditation, walks, fireside chats and creative arts.  Below each facilitator has told us about themselves and the work they already do.
