Nest is a two-hour restorative journey held in the Indoor Gallery at The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden. It is an invitation to slow down, soften, and be held.

Drawing directly from the elements of the garden, we will bring natural materials indoors to create an embodied, element-led experience that gently reconnects you to nature, rest, and community. 

You’ll be welcomed with a ritual cleansing of the hands using scented water, before settling in with nourishing homemade sweet treats from From My Mother’s Kitchen a concept through which Ati shares wisdom passed down from her mother. We’ll also enjoy Ati’s much-loved golden milk, known for its deeply restorative and nervous-system-soothing qualities.

Together, we will create a Living Mandala using materials gathered from the Sculpture Garden in a collaborative act of grounding, presence, and connection. Once the mandala is complete, you’ll be invited to lie down and rest as the sound of singing bowls fills the space. 

The sound journey focuses on the root, sacral, and heart centres, supporting feelings of safety, creativity, and emotional connection all essential foundations for rest and the instinct to nest. Sound therapy works through vibration, gently calming the nervous system, easing tension, and encouraging the body to move from holding into receiving.

As you rest, Ati will read a story inspired by the theme of Nest, guiding you through a gentle visualisation that allows the body and mind to fully settle.

Ati has been hosting retreats at Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden for a number years. An integrative wellbeing practitioner of over 25 years, she weaves together multiple modalities to offer soothing, sustainable practices for the nervous system. As an eco therapist, Ati works closely with nature’s wisdom believing that when we allow ourselves to lean in, the natural world offers profound resources for healing and restoration.

This two-hour nesting journey will leave you feeling deeply connected to nature’s wisdom, richly nourished through warming drinks and sweet treats, and held within a small community of others.
