In Nature, we're talking to Clea Danaan about how to garden mindfully, making a papercut greenhouse designed by Clare Lewis, and growing and cooking our own veg with Richard Buckley of Acorn Vegetarian Kitchen.

In Mind & Body, we're learning about the art of creating natural perfume with Amanda Saurin, making our own scented candles, discovering how fragrances can unlock memories, making our own scent sachets, reclaiming our creativity at any age, learning about inspirational women who flourished later in life and trying chi walking for mindfulness.

In Home, we're hosting our own cosy movie nights, appreciating the art of silent cinema, making our own cinema tickets and popcorn boxes and making our own homemade dens.

In Travel, we're exploring the spiritual significance of lakes, waterfalls and springs, talking to three writers about what the River Avon means to them, making clever climbing cards designed by Brittany Molineux, finding peace with a river walk, carving our own river talismans, discovering ways to cope with agoraphobia and become a calm traveller and going on a scent safari.

Happy reading!
