About this Event
Statistically, women are more likely to be harmed or murdered by an intimate partner or ex-partner, than they are by a stranger (Office for National Statistics (ONS).) However, as women, we are conditioned from birth to fear so-called "stranger danger."
Would you ever consider walking in nature alone after dark? If the answer is no, this event is for you!
Join us on the 6th of December from 6:30pm at Arlington Court for a special 16 Days of Action event where we Reclaim the Wild on a night walk for women through the grounds.
The 16 Days of Action is a national campaign to end violence against women and girls. It runs from the 25th of November (the National Day Against Violence Against Women and Girls) to the 10th of December (Human Rights Day.)
The plan:
6.30 pm - Meet on the front lawn,
6.40pm - Bring a waterproof blanket and sit or lie down and listen to a story- this is your time to relax and just be (no-one else to take care of, but you)
6.50pm – Meditation/ Qi-Gong – getting into our bodies and really connecting with place
7.15pm – Walk – approx. 2.5 miles with time to socialise and enjoy the experience of being out in the dark and feeling safe
8.30pm – Fire pit social – Hot chocolate and chat. Time for reflection.
9.00pm – Finish.
Please note, appropriate clothes and footwear are essential (jumpers, coats, hats, plus walking/welly boots.)
