WILD & WELL SWIM/HIKES
at natures pace

Combining two of the most wonderful mental and physical health and mood-boosting outdoor activities, Wild & Well Swim/Hikes will leave you buzzing. Summer days, drifting away in Lakeland tarn wild swims and awe-inspiring hikes amongst some of the most spectacular fellscapes in the Lake District.

These walks are moderately strenuous but that will warm us up nicely for not one, but two dips in a day, immersed in gorgeous, silky waters, surrounded by nature and stunning mountain scenery. Homemade cake provided!

Take a look at just how amazing hiking and wild swimming are for your health and wellbeing:

Walking has been proven to prevent or manage various conditions including:

heart disease.
stroke.
high blood pressure.
cancer and type 2 diabetes.
It improves cardiovascular fitness.
strengthens your bones and muscles.
and increases energy levels.

And the benefits of wild swimming include:

boosting your immune system.
giving you a natural high.
improving your circulation.
increasing your libido.
reducing stress.
And it is a great way of socialising and making new friends.

Wow! That’s some list isn’t it.

For info: I’m a qualified Mountain Leader with 16 years experience and a wild swimming enthusiast with RLSS National Water Safety Management Programme Level 3 qualification.

It’s a magical time of year marked by festivals and rituals; a time to celebrate light and fire amidst the darkness, a time to feast and appreciate a sense of coming together and community, a time to connect with the stillness and pausing of nature in Winter. To mark this moment, gather with us in this unique space of the magical woodland of the National Trust Footprint and it’s beautiful building. We’ll begin with a beautiful, ritual candlelit women’s fire circle, lifting your spirits amongst the trees, sharing stories, laughter and festive singing. We’ll bake damper bread ‘mince pies’ over the flames and share mulled wine as we reconnect with the healing therapy of the natural world around us. We’ll then head into the beautifully candlelit elemental indoor space to celebrate and honour this time of year by nourishing the body, mind and spirit through a beautiful sound bath with the wonderful Elaine Liddle of Earth Fire Soul Yoga & Wellbeing. Using the vibrational sound** healing of crystal singing bowls* for deep relaxation, shamanic drums for grounding and gongs to help induce a meditative state, you’ll be taken on a sound healing journey of calm, stillness and rest preparing to slow mind body and soul for the winter months ahead. Cost: £40.00 Date: Friday 20th December Time: 6.30 – 9.30 p.m. Location: National Trust Footprint, Windermere * Sound healing or sound baths are the use of instruments such as gongs, crystal bowls and chimes to produce tones and vibrations that heal the body, mind and spirit. This happens when the body is able to relax at the quantum level, sound tones and vibrations give the entire body at the cellular level a massage, releasing nitric oxide in the body changing brainwave patterns to help you relax, connect with your creativity and intuition and help to balance and restore mental harmony. **NOTE: Sound Healing isn’t for everybody; if you are pregnant, living with epilepsy or seizures or have a pacemaker fitted, any inner ear or balance problems or Meniere’s disease it is not recommended that you take part in Sound Therapy.
