Plan for the day:
Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time to allow for introductions and get settled. The walk will start with a safety talk and overview where you can have any questions answered before we begin. We will head out into the South Downs woodlands to bathe in nature and learn about seasonal fungi, plants, berries and trees, learning how to identify them from their toxic lookalikes, their properties, edibility, uses and more.
During the foraging walk you will collect materials for your whisks to use in the sauna. We will then sit down to create your own whisks with a choice of herbs, branches and scents. Guided by the leaders, you will learn the properties, symbolism and benefits of the herbs.
Then, you can change into your sauna attire with handy changing rooms provided. Robes and sauna hats available. Learn how to use your new whisk in the wood-fired sauna with a guided session.
