Service Description

In this session, we’ll be learning a range of practical knots and using them to build woodland shelters. We’ll begin with a gentle grounding activity to help us settle into the space. There will be time for exploration and play before we move into knot-tying practice, learning a selection of useful knots that can be applied in a variety of outdoor settings. We’ll use our new skills to work together to construct shelters using tarpaulins and rope. Once built, these spaces will become places for rest, reflection and creative storytelling inspired by the woodland around us. At the end of the session, people are free to stay and have lunch together.
