Celebrating Our Senses - Walk 4 - Look

The fourth in a series of 

Mindfulness and Wellbeing walks. 

Our Mindfulness meditation - Look - 

was lead by Carolyn Bantin 

in Kettering Civic Society Meeting Room 

on Platform One at Kettering Station.

We examined small packs of fossils 

and thought about time and journeys.

We looked above our heads and 

below our feet and collected a series of images 

of things we noticed on our walk
 which can be viewed here 

We collected Ginko leaves as we 

were lucky to find several lovely 

specimens during our walk - the 

Ginko is also known as a living fossil 

and it's other name is the 

maidenhair tree as it's leaves a

re similar to the maidenhair fern. 

In the garden next to the Alfred East Art Gallery

we collected more leaves in gorgeous, flame reds

and we explored St Peter and St Paul's Church

We made our way through the town 

to the Fuller Meeting Rooms and museum 

where we had a private tour of their collections.

 and played the talking Drum

We filled in our walk journals

and had our picnic indoors then made 

a dash back to the station through heavy rain.

Walk distance  2 miles.

Many thanks to David, our guide at Fuller Museum and Monica from Kettering Civic Society for the use of their meeting room, both helped make the walk special and different.

The was first in a series of Mindfulness and Wellbeing "Celebrating Our Senses" walks made possible with a Grant awarded from Margaret Giffen Community Fund and Northamptonshire Community Foundation and with support from NStep.
