Happy River Festive Forest Wreath Workshop & Shirin Yoku Experience

14th December at 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Step into the magic of the season at Happy River and enjoy a day of creativity, connection and celebration of nature at this festive time of year. We’ll begin the morning with a warming drink before gently wandering into the forest, where you’ll gather extra materials for your wreath and immerse yourself in the calming practice of Shirin Yoku (forest bathing). Guided meditation will help you slow down, connect with the land, and welcome the spirit of winter.

Afterwards, return to our cosy retreat HQ for a wreath-making workshop, led by our expert guide. Using natural materials provided, along with your hand-picked treasures from the forest, you’ll craft a truly unique and personal festive wreath. As you create, you’ll be treated to a grazing board of plant-based festive delights, designed to nourish and inspire.

We’ll close the day gathered around the fire, sipping on a warming mulled festive mocktail and enjoying a minced pie. Together, we’ll release anything we no longer wish to carry into the flames, opening space for new beginnings as the year draws to a close.
