Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 takes place from 13 to 19 May.

Meditation in Nature is an opportunity for you to switch off and experience a deep sense of calm whilst enjoying the beauty of the grounds at the Whitworth.

Stress Awareness takes place every April and has been celebrated since 1992. Stress can have a negative impact on people’s lives, but spending time in nature can have a positive effect.

When we are mindful in nature we are able to be in the present moment much quicker than if we were indoors, this is because nature offers us an abundance of beauty and our natural curiosity is heightened by the sights, sounds and smells. At the end of the session, you will experience feeling, lighter, less stressed, and have a sense that you have connected to something bigger than yourself.

To attend, please arrive no later than 5.45pm.

Please note that our Parkside entrance (off Denmark Road) closes at 5pm, entry to the gallery after this time is via the Oxford Road entrance.
