Wild Nature Walk for Activists & Tender Hearts

Wild Nature Walk for Activists & Tender Hearts 

Join us for the first walk of the year in late winter at Godrevy. 

Godrevy is a spectacular wild spot and is made super special by its wildlife including many seabirds and the presence of a large seal colony nearby who haul out onto a cove where humans can only watch from a safe distance above. 

Who is it for?

For folks who deeply care about the ongoing genocides, climate change, ecocide, social justice and have been actively witnessing / campaigning / advocating / holding in whatever way to connect and replenish in the wild.

You might be feeling:

heavy, burning out, overwhelmed, exhausted, isolated. 

All emotions welcome.

You might be needing:

 space, connection with like minded people, community.

✨STEP OUT INTO NATURE, TAKE A BREATH, LET THE LAND HOLD YOU FOR A TIME✨

What to expect:

• A small group of up to 7
• Gentle  wonder along the coast path and beach around Godrevy, led by Rebecca, a qualified walking  leader and outdoors first aider. Lots of stops to admire the wildlife including the seals and time to swim  in the sea if conditions are safe and folk want to.
• Supportive, non-judgemental space
• Coming away feeling deeply resourced, replenished, connected, grounded, less alone, inspired, motivated.

An invitation to join the Wild & Tender Hearts WhatsApp group after (shortly moving to Signal) for us to stay connected and build supportive community. Here we  share ideas, plan actions and just stay in touch. We are also about to start meeting monthly on zoom to further support each other and plan actions going forwards.  This is not a monetised community or membership, just folks coming together who care.

If you are feeling called to this but not sure it's for you, please feel free to reach out.

Some common reservations might be:

feeling like your "activism" isn't enough (we all feel that & it shows how much we care)

struggling with even identifying as an activist & that whole concept (me too but I am definitely a tender heart )

worried about being in a group & being judged (please read words by Mia below)

nerves

Everyone who has come has admitted having those reservations & nearly pulled out but felt so glad they trusted the call and came.

If you care about the polycrisis, this is for you.

If your struggling with it all, this is for you.

If your yearning to be in community with others amongst it all, this is for you.

If you love nature and wild places, this is for you.

As well as building community and fostering collective care, these walks aim to also raise mutual aid funds for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo and other initiatives. So far, from  the 4 walks that took place in 2024, £270 was raised for a family and doctor in Gaza and £75 for  the Sudanese American Physicians Fund.

 Tickets are offered on a donate what you can basis, allowing you to be as generous as you are able whilst also ensuring there are no financial barriers to attending.

Funds from this walk will be raising mutual aid for The Sameer Project in Gaza, a Palestinian led initiative working to supply emergency shelter and aid to displaced families in Gaza. Receipts of money sent will be provided for transparency. 

Testimonial 

Words from Mia after joining her first Wild Nature Walk for Activists & Tender Hearts on Bodmin Moor last year:

""I was experiencing burnout , hopelessness and disengagement with the causes I deeply care about, and I knew I wanted to connect with others. I'm so glad I set aside my timid hesitations and showed up to the wild nature walk for activists and tender hearts on Bodmin Moor; it was just what I needed.

Getting together with a group of like-minded people reinvigorated me and gave a sense of solidarity. The women in the group felt more like old friends that those I'd just met, and there was NO judgement. The freedom in nature that Rebecca facilitates gives those attending, the space to breathe and unload. It was magical and I can't wait to do another one. I would highly recommend joining a walk if you are engaged in humanitarian/world crisis at ANY level and want to feel less alone, because you're not".
