Returning to My Trees
The Welsh saying “Dod yn ôl at fy nghoed” – ‘to return to my trees’ – describes taking a moment to clear your mind and find yourself again.
Inspired by the saying, the group explored wellbeing through gentle movement, meditation and creativity. They imagined the trees of the Celtic rainforest and the mountains overlooking Port Talbot before creating these illustrations.
Through nature and art, the session offered time to slow down, reflect and reconnect.
