🌌 Experience

As daylight fades, the forest awakens.

Join us for a guided night walk inspired by Night Magic, a book that invites us to reconnect with nature after dark. This sensory experience will open your ears to owl calls, your nose to night-blooming flowers, and your mind to the quiet power of the wild.

All participants will receive a Midnight Sensory Kit including:

  • Slow Glow Pack – forest-scented sachet, mini flashlight, field journal

  • Moonlight Lens – helps reveal the silhouettes of plants in dim light

  • Wild Soundtrack – QR access to curated nocturnal sounds

  • Scent Cards – a game of identifying floral notes that only emerge at night

🎧 Notes
