Outdoor movement

Outdoor movement in Wick Woodland

These sessions are an invitation to move with the landscape rather than through it — not using it as a backdrop, but meeting it as a co-creator, a companion, a guide.

Held in Wick Woodland, we explore what it means to let our bodies be moved by this city woods. We practise softening our boundaries and attuning to its textures. We feel, listen, and respond as if for the first time. Like a weed pushing up through pavement cracks, we explore what it means to find the feral in ourselves when surrounded by concrete. We learn not to grab at nature for our use, but to become part of the ecology that is already here.

This is not about fitness or performance. It is about reanimating the senses. De-domesticating attention. Letting the city’s wild edges remind us how to belong — not through domination, but through humility, reciprocity, and presence.

Each session is its own thing. You don’t need to have come before or plan to return. Just bring your body and whatever the day has given you.

Sessions last between 1h 30mins and 2 hours depending on the weather.

All sessions will happen no matter what the weather. You will be expected to bring waterproofs top and bottom if it rains, warm layers if it’s cold and hat, sun cream and light clothing if it’s hot.
