🌻 A space to just be

Sometimes, amongst everything else, we all need a little space to breathe …

Together in Nature is our free, nature-based group created especially to support the mental health and wellbeing of parents and carers with babies and young children.

We know that becoming a parent, or welcoming another little person into your family, can bring huge changes. It can be wonderful, but it can also feel overwhelming, lonely, exhausting or simply a lot.

Together in Nature is a place to slow down, reconnect and take some time for you. There’s no expectation to join in, no judgement and no pressure to be anything other than where you are that day.

🌿 Come when you can and leave when you need to
☕ Refreshments are provided
💜 Completely free
🌳 A relaxed, supportive space in nature
👶 Babies and young children are very welcome

Because sometimes we all need somewhere safe to stand, breathe and grow in our own way. 🌻…. Just like this sunflower that surprised us this week !

Our sessions are able to remain free thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and Health Stars, with the continued support of Hull Museums.
You’ll find us in the museum garden 10-11.30 on Friday (or indoors if raining !)
We’d love to welcome some new faces. If you know a parent or carer who might need a space like this, please share this with them. 💜

Weathers looking lovely for tomorrow’s Together in Nature group. You’ll find us in the garden behind street life and Wilberforce museum, the amazing museum staff will point you in our direction if you can’t find us. … and don’t forget if the British weather does pull the rug we do have an indoor space too !!

One of my favourite parts of Together in Nature is watching our canvases grow over time. 🌳🎨

We start with a bare tree and leave the same canvas out for a number of weeks, adding just one colour of paint each week — and no painting tools!

As with everything at Together in Nature, there is no pressure, the canvas is simply there to be discovered.

It’s an invitation for adults as much as little ones to take a moment, explore and make their mark. There’s no right or wrong way, every contribution is valued.
There’s something really special about watching all those individual marks gradually build into something we’ve created together. 💜

We’ve quite a forest growing now… 🌱🌳

I’m looking forward to seeing what the next few weeks grow … 🌳💜

🌳💜 Together in Nature is back this Friday! 💜🌳

Our Together in Nature sessions are a time for families with babies and young children to slow down, reconnect and simply be.

We know that this chapter of life can be wonderful, but it can also feel challenging, overwhelming and sometimes a little lonely. Together in Nature is a space where you don’t need to have everything figured out — you can just come as you are.

There’s no pressure and no expectations. Arrive when you like, leave when you like. Sessions are completely free, with refreshments provided, so you can focus on yourself, your little one and what you need that day.

Because while so much of your time is spent caring for someone else, your wellbeing matters too.

We’re simply here to facilitate a safe, relaxed and supportive space in nature, with a warm welcome waiting for you.

We’d love to see you. 🌳💜
