Creative Croydon

Weds morning 15th July 11 am - 12.30. Meet 10.45 am
Join us for a beautiful serene session of mindful in cool lush green -  park strolling and seasonal singing in partnership with the local recovery college. South Norwood country park is different to the Lake one (though it has a small lake or two). 

All are welcome and a particular welcome is extended to those living with mental health issues or caring for a loved one. 

No skill or experience needed. Meet some potential new friends or just take your time to take part when you wish to.   You are welcome to participate at the level that feels comfortable for you. This is an inclusive and safe space for all, as we practise kindness together!

We will nature bathe (Shinrin Yoku) in the unspoilt woodland and lakeside paths, enjoying the trees and water elements, weaving in chants and songlets as we stop at points of interest and notice the season around us.

Approx length 60 mins singing, followed by optional refreshments (bring change please to pay cash only on the day as it is not open but I have a key! or welcome to bring your own ) /chat in the park. There is a toilet available.

Meet at the Croydon Arena Tram stop. It is just a few minutes walk to the park. 

Please dress for the weather and wear sensible shoes. Bring a small bottle of water as singing in hot weather is thirsty work. 

Do contact if you have any questions. No need to book but it would help so we have enough songsheets and biscuits, but last minute folkx welcome.

Offered in partnership with the wonderful team at Bethlem and Maudesley. Open to all, queer led and fully intersectional and inclusive!  Also heartfelt thanks for community heart connected Vee and the Kiosk team for giving us the key for the day!
