Wellness Walk in Nature - Ocean Therapy West Lakes Shore

Come find calm by the sea! A slow guided walk for those who want to feel the healing benefits of being in nature.

NATURE CONNECTION FOR EVERYONE

Big Heart Adventures is proud to introduce events for people of all abilities to join us for mindful nature connection time.

We respectfully acknowledge that our adventure is on Kaurna Land traditionally owned by the Kaurna People.

Experience a deeper connection with nature and be guided on a sensory journey with the land we walk upon. You are invited to feel the health benefits of being in nature while deepening our relationships with the earth, ocean and ourselves.

We include light refreshments and tea at the conclusion of our session (please let us know any dietary needs you may have).

Our Guides are certified Nature Therapy Guides with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy - we just choose to practise by the ocean......
