Intuition game

Secretly ask one member of the group to go and hide in a designated area.

Blindfold training

At home, place a few objects around a room and, wearing a blindfold, try to navigate towards each one using sound alone, such as a ticking clock or the hum of a fridge.

Look up

Most of us walk with our eyes at head height or lower, and miss a whole layer of the world.

Another world

Beforehand, find a moss-covered rotting log and walk the group past it without comment.

Night world

Invite the group on a night walk to an open clearing, and ask everyone to sit quietly once there.

Sensory tree ID

Collect samples of different tree parts, such as leaves, bark, twigs, blossom or catkins, from a variety of trees in the activity area, placing each part into its own opaque bag so it cannot be seen.

Silent predator

Gather the group in a circle and ground everyone with a short mindfulness activity.

Look down

Choose a patch of ground that looks ordinary, such as the edge of a path, the foot of a tree or a corner of a lawn.
