Caroline Cook from Well With Nature leads a mindful walk designed to help you slow down and immerse your senses in the peace and beauty of the waterways.
For this walk you are invited to join a slow sensory stroll in Chatsworth Parkland by the River Derwent. Caroline will lead us through guided mindfulness as we connect deeply with the natural world around us. Taking time to immerse the senses in nature, letting go of anything that is no longer serving us as we contemplate the patterns and sounds of the water, the variety of wildlife, with Chatsworth House as our backdrop. There will be opportunity for optional circle sharing on our observations and reflections.

A Celebrating the Cascade event
Our new Celebrating the Cascade wellness sessions have been designed to delight and inspire you. We invite you to enjoy the calm and beauty of nature in the garden and wider landscape. Find balance as you step away from daily routines and pause with us by still and flowing waters. We invite you to open your heart and mind to the environment and connect with our wonderful surroundings.
The Celebrating the Cascade project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery Players, the project is working to restore the Cascade, safeguarding it for the enjoyment of future generations and enabling more people to get involved with Chatsworth.
