Join us for a magical gathering of like minded women at Shaw Wood, Oakerthorpe. SPECIAL OFFER! The first Sunday Women Gathering of 2026 is offered FREE of charge!!

We are eager to encourage more women to gather with us, so make the most of this gift and BOOK NOW - places are limited to just 8, so don't miss out. (Offer applies to 11th January only.)

These gatherings are special events where we come together to share, listen and connect with nature, ourselves and each other, to gather our breath and gather our thoughts.

This in-person event offers a safe space for women of all ages to unwind, recharge, and find inspiration. Whether you're seeking solace, friendship, or simply a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, the Woodland Gatherings are the perfect opportunity to nurture your mind, body, and soul. You are welcome to join us just the once or attend regularly as we build a supportive network of connected women. In the 4 hours together we will spend time in guided mindful moments of forest bathing. We will then relax at the fire pit for drinks and conversation.

For lunch we will prepare a meal together which will be cooked at the campfire and shared in circle together. After lunch there will be a natural craft to have a go at if you choose to. We will end our time together with an opportunity to reflect and release in our closing fire ceremony.

If you would like to come along but can't stay for the whole session, that's fine. Please just let us know when booking so that we have the right amount of resources ready. Feel free to bring along any other drinks or food that you choose to. We will provide hot drinks but please bring your own mug. Thermos travel mugs are ideal if you have one. Seating at the fire is on very low logs, so please do bring a camping chair, blanket, cushion or anything that you would like to help you feel comfortable during your time in the woods.

Remember that we will be outdoors for the whole session, so dress for the weather! Sturdy footwear with a good grip is essential! Please be aware that there are no toilets in the woods! Wild wee behind a tree are the only facilities on offer! Full Details and booking: https://WomenGatherShawWood.eventbrite.co.uk

The entrance to a small parking area can be found on the B6013 at Oakerthorpe, near to Woodside Grove Camping and Caravans.

The best way to navigate to us is by using the what3words app with eggplants.scrum.slugs There is a metal 5 bar gate which will be opened 30 minutes prior to the session.

Please park considerately so that everyone can fit in! If you find that there are no spaces left, there is a small layby across the road from Woodside Grove just a short distance away, or park at the kerbside next to the metal gate.

Parking in any of these spaces is at your own risk. Please be aware that the whole session is outdoors. If shelter is needed from rain we put up a high tarp over the campfire area. Dress for all weathers with sturdy footwear.
