Reconnect
Your weekly invitation to slow down, reset and reconnect.
With nature.
With yourself.
With what matters.
90 minutes. Beautiful surroundings. Time that is entirely yours.
Every Friday morning at Coolart.
What if you had somewhere to be every week — just for you?
Life changes.
Children grow up.
Work changes or ends.
Relationships evolve.
The roles that once filled our days can shift.
And somewhere amongst all that change, it can be easy to lose touch with yourself.
Reconnect is your weekly pause.
A 90-minute Forest Therapy experience for women 60+ who want more calm, curiosity, connection and joy in their lives — without adding another thing to achieve.
You don't need to be fit.
You don't need to be outdoorsy.
You don't need to know anything about Forest Therapy.
You simply need to arrive.
Come for the nature. Leave with something more.

Reconnect is for you if…
You want more meaning and connection in this chapter of life.
You'd love regular time in nature without the pressure of exercise or achievement.
You're looking for something that's genuinely just for you.
You want to feel more present, curious and engaged with the world around you.
You'd enjoy meeting thoughtful, like-minded women.
You want more moments of calm, joy and connection in your week.
You're ready to explore what could make this next chapter feel richer, more interesting and more alive.
You don't have to be looking for a big life change.
Sometimes, it's the small things we return to that make the biggest difference.
This isn’t a fitness walk
It's not about distance.
It's not about speed.
And it's certainly not about keeping up.
We'll move slowly, pause often and make plenty of time to notice, explore and simply be.
Reconnect is suitable for women 60+ with a basic level of mobility.
If you have questions about accessibility or whether the experience is right for you, please contact Brigette before booking.
Why Forest Therapy?
Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, Forest Therapy is about immersing yourself in the atmosphere of nature and engaging your senses.
Research into time spent in nature and forest-based experiences has shown significant outcomes, including decreased stress, increased mood, attention and overall well-being.
But you don't need a scientific explanation to understand how it feels to stop.
To breathe.
To notice.
To be present.
Reconnect creates the space for that experience — week after week.
What your 90 minutes might hold
🌿 Slow down - Leave the rush behind and move at a different pace.
👀 Awaken your senses - Listen, look, smell, touch and notice what you might normally rush past.
🌱 Look closer - Discover the fascinating details of the natural world around you. Each week it’s a different activity.
💬 Connect - Spend time with other women who are also making space for themselves.
🍵 Pause and enjoy - Let the experience unfold without needing to achieve anything.

Over the weeks, I have noticed I feel more grounded, have better focus during my day, and have increased energy. I love the session because you stick to time, so I can just surrender. You guide us to focus on all the 5 senses, allowing me to connect to myself and nature

Frequently asked questions
-
No.
Awaken is deliberately slow and gentle. It isn't a fitness walk or hike.
You should, however, be comfortable participating in approximately 1–1.5 km of slow walking and moving between sitting and standing.
If you're unsure whether it's suitable for you, contact Brigette before booking.
-
Absolutely not.
There is nothing to study and nothing to get right.
You'll simply be offered gentle invitations to notice, explore and experience the natural environment.
What if I don't know anyone?
That's perfectly okay.
The group is intentionally small, and connection is part of the experience.
You can arrive on your own and simply see what unfolds.
What happens if it rains?
A little rain doesn't necessarily stop us.
Come prepared with appropriate clothing and we'll embrace the experience.
If weather conditions become unsafe, the experience will be postponed or cancelled and you'll be offered a transfer or refund.
-
Please let Brigette know before the experience begins if you have any time constraints.
-
Please do.
You don't need to be a bushwalker, gardener or nature expert.
You simply need to be curious.
-
Please contact Brigette before booking.
The experience takes place in a natural outdoor environment and some surfaces may be uneven. We'll discuss your needs and whether reasonable adjustments are possible.
A quick note about photography
Photos may be taken during the experience so we can share what Awaken is like with other women considering joining us. If you’re not comfortable being photographed, please let us know when booking.
