Location: Porters' Lodge, Corpus Christi College, Merton Street, Oxford, OX1 4JF
Description: Through different pathways to engaging with nature, the session offers the opportunity to experience the wellbeing power of the natural world from the University’s own grounds. The Corpus garden displays a 17th Century Copper Beech tree, prehistoric Wollemi Pine tree, a historical old door linking Christchurch College and Corpus Christi College, and offers a roof garden with splendid views over Christchurch. Join us to reset and to explore Corpus Christi’s garden walk, which is thought to have influenced Lewis Caroll with its small wooden doors.
The session will include:
- A welcome to the Gardens – An introduction to the College's varied and beautiful grounds.
- Noticing Nature – Engage your senses to fully experience and feel the depth of the natural world.
- Communal Reflection (optional) – Integrate your experience and connect with others by sharing insights and reflections.
