In partnership with the Horniman Museum and Gardens this 8-week course, delivered outdoors in the grounds of the museum, fuses together recovery and wellbeing with loving our planet. It will show us how we can all play our part in the climate emergency and have improved personal wellbeing as a result. Students will explore how care for nature and sustainable growth can support your and our planet’s wellbeing. You will spend time connecting with nature in the gardens, touching museum objects, learning about soil and native trees, sharing environmental stories in nature, and learning from other cultures about their relationships to nature. Students will also be encouraged to explore biodiversity in city spaces and take back seeds and ideas to grow in their own homes.
The course culminates in the group creation of an audio exhibit that provides positive environmental influence and legacy for the museums’ visitors for years to come. Previous projects have led to a curated box of touch objects and a downloadable trail: https://www.horniman.ac.uk/story/mindful-journeys-at-the-horniman/
