Nature connectedness – Dorothy House’s Interactive Nature Trail
As a Hospice, Dorothy House’s vision is of a society where death is part of life. Through its seasons, nature reminds us of the fragility of life and offers peace and solace from sadness and overwhelm. Their ambition is to open up the site at Winsley, Bradford-on-Avon, to anyone wishing to find a wellbeing space to reflect in nature, or to find serenity in grief.
