About Thriving with the Seasons
Our Mission
Thriving with the Seasons is a National Lottery Heritage funded community wellness programme delivered by Reconnection to Wellness CIC in Darwen Lancashire.
It’s about getting back to what humans have always known: life works better when we live closer to nature’s rhythm. Through seasonal workshops and wellbeing sessions, we reconnect residents with sustainable, seasonal practices rooted in local cultural heritage, including growing food in small spaces, foraging, preserving, traditional crafts, and plant remedies.
Alongside practical heritage learning, we offer reflective wellbeing activities such as mindfulness, meditation and gentle, accessible movement to support health, confidence, and social connection.
The project is community-led and partnership-based, bringing people together to learn, share stories, and create a living archive of local seasonal wisdom, captured through a digital resource and a printed community zine to leave a lasting legacy.
