SUMMARY:No Trees No Seas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of No Trees No Seas\, a powerful new feature-length documentary exploring the hidden connection between our forests and oceans. \n  \nFor thousands of years\, the British Isles were home to vast forests that swept across the land\, right to the sea’s edge. Two separate worlds\, divided by the shoreline. \n  \nWhat we couldn’t see were the forests sending life to the sea\, and the sea giving life back to the forests. Not two separate worlds\, but a single living system – trees and seas connected in ways we’re only now beginning to understand. \n  \nWhen we cut down the forests\, we severed that connection. And our seas have been suffering ever since. \n  \nNo Trees No Seas is a Cornwall-born project and campaign spearheaded by Plant One\, with a bold mission: to restore both our forests and our seas.

SUMMARY:Calm Under the Canopy (Wandlebury)
DESCRIPTION:Every month on a Friday afternoon\, a friendly group gathers with our resident Green Coach\, David Lynch\, to slow down\, pause\, and immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of the woodlands of Wandlebury.  We wander gently into the denser vegetation\, tuning into birdsong\, shifting light in the canopy\, and the small\, joyful details that are so easily missed in daily life.  David offers simple practices that invite stillness\, presence\, and a deeper connection with the natural world and with our own experience\, supporting us to unwind and rediscover a sense of ease. \nWith this renewed clarity\, we return to the pop-up café to share stories\, exchange insights\, and form new friendships. If you’d like to manage stress more naturally\, live life with greater appreciation\, and become part of a warm\, nature-connected community at Wandlebury\, we’d love to welcome you. \nDavid is trained and experienced in guiding groups outdoors\, bringing together gentle nature-based practices\, ecotherapy principles\, and slow\, mindful movement.  Each gathering explores a fresh theme and builds on the shared wisdom of previous walks. \nThese events are suitable for complete beginners as well as those with previous experience. \nEach walk concludes at the pop-up café\, where we pause together\, reflect on the experience\, and continue building a sense of community. \n3 walks for £50 per person or 6 walks for £70 per person (concessions £40/£60). £25 (£20) per session.
