Eloise Forster
Special Guest Facilitator From Mantra & Moss
Forest to Vessel: A Nature Immersion + Terrarium Workshop
Nurse, holistic counsellor, ceramicist, and forest therapy guide
With a deep kinship to the land and a background in emergency nursing and neurodivergent wellbeing, Eloise offers a unique blend of science and soul, ritual and regulation.
Together, we’ll begin with a guided forest therapy walk, moving slowly and mindfully through the landscape, attuning to nature’s rhythms and our own. This isn’t a hike—it’s a sensory experience designed to calm the nervous system and awaken the inner voice. During this walk you may find natural trinkets on the ground during the walk, to add to your terrarium and are welcome to pick up. However we do discourage picking anything off trees or out of the ground. We also encourage you to bring something from home that has a special meaning for you to add to your creation at the terrarium workshop.
Later, in a nurturing terrarium workshop, you’ll be invited to create your own miniature forest using natural elements gathered mindfully and ethically. Each vessel becomes a living metaphor—of growth, cycles, and sanctuary. You will be required to bring along a small to medium glass vessel for the workshop and all else will be supplied.
