Urban Nature Wellbeing Club – Mindful mandalas
With Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events
At Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park
Activity description
Join us for a creative session to celebrate the launch of our new wellbeing programme. If you’re 18 or over and interested in learning more about mental health, building practical wellbeing tools, and connecting with a supportive community, this club could be the perfect space for you. In January, we’ll be joined by local artist Jenny to decorate beautiful journals with vibrant mandala patterns. You’ll explore the symbolism of mandalas and discover how to use them as a mindful practice to support your wellbeing. Leave with a personally crafted journal—a thoughtful gift for yourself or a loved one—and a sense of calm and relaxation. This session is free, but booking is essential as only 12 spaces are available. To reserve your spot, email: Georgiana.irimia@tcv.org.uk Programme delivered by the Friends of Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park and funded by the London Community Foundation

Help us to complete practical outdoor tasks and contribute your ideas for developing the trail. Join our green gym and see the benefits! Get Outdoors: being surrounded by greenery has been shown to improve overall mental health and reduce heart rates. Get Active: conservation work or gardening is a great low impact way to exercise your whole body. Meet Local People: our volunteers love meeting new people, so no need to be shy, enjoy coming together to form a team! Learn New Skills: from tool use and plant ID to group leadership, there is something for everyone.
