We had the pleasure of welcoming our wonderful friend, Ranger Jo from We Are Nature CIC, to Sorn for a creative afternoon of willow weaving.
Jo introduced us to some simple willow-weaving techniques, helping us create beautiful, magical willow hearts to take home.
The children loved having the freedom to explore the willow in their own way, letting their imaginations lead them and creating whatever their little hands wanted to make. Before long, playing and exploring together became even more exciting — which gave the adults the perfect opportunity to have a go themselves!
For the grown-ups, weaving became a wonderfully calming and therapeutic experience — a chance to slow down, be creative and enjoy the moment while the children played and socialised together.
It was a lovely example of how simple activities can bring people of all ages together — creating space to learn, play, connect and enjoy being part of the community.
