Ditch your shoes and join a barefoot ‘earthing’ circle in these Cork woods

When was the last time you spent a day barefoot?
If you can’t remember what it’s like to feel the world beneath your feet, an upcoming workshop could offer you a welcome reminder.
The Wellness Hub is hosting a Grounding Circle in Tracton Wood on Tuesday, July 5th, 2022.
“Earthing, also known as grounding, is the practice of connecting your body with the Earth.” they explain.
“Modern life coupled with the love affair many have with shoes means people are literally losing touch with the Earth but the good news is it’s easily rectified… getting outside and physically connecting with nature stimulates the senses while also relaxing us, among other benefits like better sleep and so much more.”
The organisers say that grounding can also reduce pain or inflammation in the body.
The Grounding workshop takes place on Tuesday, July 5th at 7.30pm in Tracton Woods, Minane Bridge. Pre-booking is essential (places are €15) so text 085 8683520 to reserve your place.
