Foraging Nature Walks

Upcoming Foraging Nature Walks 

Celebrate the seasons whilst walking through the glorious Westerham countryside. On our foraging nature walks you will learn where to find fascinating plants, how to safely identify them, and all about their medicinal benefits...and a bit of folklore along the way.

A light lunch starring these nutritional plants will be provided and you will take away foraging notes and recipes - ready for your own foraging adventures!

Elderberry Magic: September 2024

As summer comes to a close, we are rewarded with berry season - hedgerows are  brimming and heavy with the colourful, jewelled fruits of elder, rose, hawthorn and bramble. In this nature walk, we will be focusing on the magical elder tree, which produces prolific deep purple berries from late August through to early October. Elderberries are rich with medicinal properties and over the centuries, have been used to treat colds, flu, fever, burns, cuts, and more than 70 other maladies, from toothache to the plague...!

 

We'll also be on the look-out for blackberries, hawthorn berries and the start of the rosehips.

 

Elderberry Magic walks take place on Monday 9th and Monday 16th September from 11am - 1:30pm.

 

Full instructions on how to join will be shared once a booking has been made.

Calming plant background

I had the pleasure of Reiki sessions with Clare, a warm and compassionate soul, who clearly has a natural gift for healing. She took time and consideration discussing my areas of concern together with my medical history, which made me feel utterly at ease that she fully understood and that I was genuinely cared for. The setting was welcoming, relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. The feeling in my body during the session was quite remarkable, a warm gentle wave of tingling energy and in particular the area where I was in most discomfort. I hadn’t anticipated the mental and emotional benefit too, my mind feeling still. I left the sessions not only with the pain gone but a general sense of well-being, lighter, stress and tension free. My sleep and anxious state also improved. Clare suggested small, achievable ways on how to improve and nurture my general overall well-being.
