About the event
As spring transitions to summer we sense a renewed feeling of lightness growing within us. But before we dive into the vibrant expansiveness of summer life, we pause for a moment to find our centre, using the grounding energy of natural rocks.
November brings two of our favourite celebrations - International Stonework Play Day and World Kindness Day
so it is only natural that our November Growing with Nature theme is Playing and Creating with Rocks!
What's included:
Storytelling Circle: Join us for a heart-warming retelling of the story Stone Soup - a timeless tale that reminds us of the power of collaboration, generosity and community.
Seasonal Nature Craft: Time to get creative! Together we will create Kindness rocks - painted little gems of positivity. Children and grown ups will be encouraged to create 3 kindness rocks - one for themselves, one to gift to a special person and one to hide in the gardens.
All materials supplied.
While this workshop offers an enriching educational and cultural experience for the whole family, it remains deeply child-focused and play-based—giving your children a warm, intentional space to learn, play, and truly grow with nature.
