ABOUT THE COURSE

Combining meditation and an introduction to basic whittling techniques, this workshop will give you the time and space to get away from a hectic everyday life and connect with nature. You will be guided to fully engage your senses in the relaxing skill of wood carving. In the morning you will immerse yourself in learning the skill of whittling and carve your own butter knife to take home with you. Following a warming campfire cooked lunch, you will visit one of our yurts for a meditation session incorporating woodland folklore. The day is designed to leave you with a feeling of peace and calm, that whittling and time spent in nature can bring. 

THE COURSE WILL COVER:

• Skills to use a knife safely for whittling and knowledge about green woodwork
• Confidence to carve your own butter knife
• Experience of the de-stressing ability of the forest and a day of ‘digital detox’ 
• Nature-based meditation practices​

WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?

• The course is designed for anyone wishing to unwind from the stress of modern life and reconnect with the natural environment.
• No previous whittling experience is needed, but some manual dexterity and strength is required.

WHAT TO BRING/WEAR

• Suitable clothing for being outdoors in the woods - warm layers and waterproofs.
• Sturdy footwear
• A blanket
