The Leaves Are Falling. It is Safe to Let Go
A Secular Samhain Gathering for Grief, Nature Connection, and Self-Compassion.
A TIME TO TRUST AND LET GO
Deep in the autumn woods, nature is showing us how to let go. The trees do not fight the dropping leaves; they trust the soil to hold them.
If you are carrying the weight of a loss, whether it’s a loved one, a dream, a chapter of your life, or simply a heavy heart, ou don’t have to carry it alone, and you don’t have to hide it.
This Samhain, join us for a gentle, non-religious woodland gathering. No dogmas, no expectations, and no pressure to "fix" your sadness. Just the quiet sanctuary of the trees, a warm fire, and a safe space to offer yourself radical kindness.
what to expect
- A mindful, silent forest walk to ground your senses.
- A gentle, earth-based ritual to honour your grief and return your burdens to the soil.
- A supportive circle of shared silence and self-compassion practices.
- Hot drinks and snacks shared with community connection by the hearth.

REVIEWS
What People Say
Having just returned relaxed and uplifted from an evening retreat, I cannot thank Imelda enough and highly recommend all Mindful by Nature events. This last few months I have enjoyed connecting with nature mindfully, foraging for cooking, baking bread on the open fires and learning new nature crafts. Fun and laughter with like-minded people brought together in a safe space under Imelda’s leadership, sharing her knowledge, wisdom and love of nature. I feel so blessed and grateful to have been included in this circle of new friends. Thank you xxx
Yvonne Slater
Thank you for a wonderful evening, I absolutely had the best time and met some amazing people. Doing yoga in the woods was better than I could imagine...As was the silent disco. I went on my own and everyone was so friendly, you don’t need a plus one. I really can't wait to go again. I didn't take loads of photos, as I was so busy having fun!
Sue Burn
What a fantastic summer retreat! Three hours simply vanished with an amazing yoga class, gorgeous food and meeting such fabulous people. The silent disco ( it was a rave!) could have lasted all night! If you do this again, I'm in. Thank you, Imelda, for all the hard work you put into making the evening such a great event xx
