‘At Home with the Seasons’: Autumn workshop

‘At Home with the Seasons’: Autumn workshop

1 October 2024, 4.00pm-5.30pm UK time

Join our Autumn online workshop: ‘At Home with the Seasons’, where we’ll delve into the beauty of

autumn and its natural landscapes. Rooted in the principles of Montessori teaching, our

workshop is tailored for individuals living with dementia.

Whether you live in the countryside, suburbs, or city, our workshop encourages you to

engage your senses and connect with the natural world. Crafted to mirror the ebbs and flows

of the season, each workshop takes inspiration from the At Home with the Seasons

resource and focuses on the current time of year.

This workshop helps you connect, share and learn from our experienced facilitator.

By the end of the workshop participants will be able to use the resource interactively with

people living with dementia and their family carers, recognise the impact of nature on

wellbeing and recognise the researched benefits of connections with nature for people living

with dementia.

This seasonal workshop will be led by Charlotte Evans. Inspired by cherished moments with

her Gran, Charlotte established the social enterprise Story Chaplain, dedicated to

empowering individuals to embrace everyday creativity in their interactions with those living

with dementia. With an MA in Bibliotherapy (fiction therapy), Charlotte infuses her workshops

with poetry and creative writing, intertwining the magic of nature and the seasons to facilitate

profound connections.
