MindFood are now offering free online well being courses as part of their new MindFood at Home Programme. This programme help you stay connected with nature, and nurture your well being.
This Mindfood at Home programme is good for those of you who might be:
- Shielding or self-isolating?
- Have mobility difficulties?
- Social anxiety?
- Full-time caring commitments?
- Want to visit us in person but aren’t quite ready?
- Joined us in the past and fancy a refresher
For 6 weeks, MindFood are emailing a weekly easy-to-follow nature-themed pep talk. They cover all of the Growing Wellbeing courses topics with on-site videos, mindfulness prompts, and ideas to get you growing at home. They can provide you with seedlings to get you started.
Sessions take place on various days of the week between 2.00-3.00 pm.
Once you’ve completed the well being course, you are welcome to visit us in person if/when you are ready to, and join any of our other in person sessions, or our regular trips to Kew Gardens.
