Natural Connections was a woodland live art event I worked on in a small group, where we created a woodland trail for participants to get back in touch with nature. You entered the woodland to find a map showing the trail which led you to the first stop where Bethan had created a wire sculpture of a lady you had an option to help her fill this with natural materials creating a beautiful sculpture. The next was mine where we were creating natural mandalas on the floor using materials we found around us. The third stop was India’s, a hanging mobile you could walk through and attach different fabric to. Last but not least as you walked to the end of the trail, we had a large weave that Jo was working on, and you could add more natural materials too. We ended the trail by giving each person a rock on which we had drawn little pictures on, and the words thank you. You would then walk back through all the different stops and beautiful woodland reflecting on the space on the way out. We didn't have any pressure to make people join in, they were more than welcome to just watch the process if that felt more comfortable.
