Inner Sunshine were tasked by Camp Bestival to build a unique sensory garden and deliver mindful activities over the festival weekend. this was in addition to the Family Yoga sessions which our fairy 'Kerry' has been delivering there for the past few years The site was a beautiful woodland area in Weston Park and after gathering 10 volunteers and their families we headed to Shropshire to create our natural sensory heaven. Our Volunteers came from meeting like minded people at our groups and sessions and we loved creating this opportunity for them and their families to attend. Camp Bestival were keen to let us know that the parents left lots of feedback about the area and activities and said it was phenomenal and that the volunteers were all friendly and definitely full of Sunshine. Big news for this year is we have been invited back! To both Weston Park at Shropshire and Lulworth Castle in Dorest.
