The spring WHYoutdoors course will be taking place at Bath Skyline from Wednesday 3rd May and is open to anyone in the local area who is living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis, at any stage.
Sessions run one day per week from 10am to 3pm, in the company of two We Hear You (WHY) counsellors.
WHYoutdoors facilitator Barbara Gonzalez said: “WHYoutdoors aims to help participants develop a closer relationship to nature, deepen their own self-awareness and share their experiences with peers making meaningful and supportive connections.
“It’s not strenuous or difficult – just an opportunity to discover how nature can support emotional and physical wellbeing for those living with and beyond cancer.“
A previous participant said: “This course has offered an opportunity to explore my relationship with nature in a hugely beneficial way.
“I feel better equipped to handle the ‘bad days’ and I have a better understanding of myself and my emotions.
“A fantastic bonus has been the camaraderie of sharing and learning from the experiences of others on the course.”
