This summer, renowned land artist James Brunt is coming to Knowsley to create a number of land art installations in some of the borough’s most loved parks.

James along with several other accomplished land artists will descend on the Borough in August to work with local people and communities on a number of outdoor installations at Halewood Triangle, Stadt Moers, Mill Dam and Bowring Parks.

As a warm-up to this project – United by Land – James is working with a number of Knowsley Primary school pupils in May and June to create land art within school grounds. He has also promised to create some ‘pop-up’ land art in secret locations across the borough over the summer months – meaning that anyone taking a stroll in Knowsley might just stumble across a hidden gem of creativity.

Dates and locations for United by Land community events and workshops are taking place as follows:

Forest bathing is a health and wellness practice that derives from the Japanese term ‘shinrin yoku’ which means ‘bathing in the forest atmosphere’ using your senses.

The aim of forest bathing is to help you to slow down and connect to nature by awakening all of your senses. This increases your capacity to be fully present and enables feelings of relaxation and calmness. Research shows that Forest Bathing helps reduce stress, lowers cortisol levels, reduces blood pressure, lowers heart rate, improves concentration and stimulates creative thinking.

This shorter 90 minute mid-week session allows you time to switch off from the busyness of life, to relax, reset and reenergise through the practice of forest bathing.

Where: Wavertree Botanic Gardens, Edge Lane, Innovation Blvd, Liverpool L7 9PL
