Woods Run Events
These Events are an opportunity to make a link to the nature led retreat work that Femur produces both for those who have already participated and for those who have not.
London’s Woods Run currently takes place at Epping Forest, in woodland surrounding the ancient Loughton Camp – an Iron Age hill fort. We start with a 20 to 30 min warm-up and end with a warm-down of at least 15mins. For those new to the process, the Woods Run enables runners and walkers of all levels of fitness and experience to have a thoroughly satisfying, enjoyable and, if you wish, challenging experience.
The purpose is to, as a group, make connection with the woodland environment. There is something about moving through woodland as a group; aware of the whole rather than simply the self; experiencing being a living part of the woodland itself that brings us here, bodily into life, effortlessly. This is the pleasure and the surprise of the Woods Run process.
The route takes in magnificent mature beech and oak trees, meadowland, marshland and lily ponds. The power of the forest can be felt even this close to London.
