About this event

  • 4 days 2 hours

We will gather in a beautiful part of the Welsh Black Mountains, next to a rushing river and nestled below open mountains in a time for spacious expansion as life unfolds into the fullness of summer.

This immersion explores the deepening of relationship and belonging; with the land, the living world, ourselves and each other.

Across the days and nights we will dwell with the land and skies, unearthing our growth through experiential practices of story, wandering, solo time and ceremony; embodying our learning with the wildlife and landscape, with time to reflect in regenerative community, sharing food, fun and relaxation.

There will be a rhythm to each day that includes:

  • morning meditation or bird walk
  • group practices and reflection either at our riverside camp or out in the hills
  • shared meals for breakfast and dinner
  • time and space to yourself in early pm
  • talks and evocations to deepen understanding of the living world, stars and planets
  • evening fireside stories, song and music


Logistics

The site is very basic but beautiful and we have chosen it for this reason. We will mostly be outdoors, however if it is wet we will have a Bell tent for extra group space . Tarp shelter and hot camp shower will be set up for your use.

There is a shared basic cabin, limited to 5 spaces available to book (please select the add on for a private room when booking your ticket if you would like to purchase this). You will need your own sleeping bag or other bedding. The camping field is large and flat, and has a compost loo. Car parking is at the main entrance, with a short walk over a footbridge and track to our private field. There is a space for a camper van, if interested please contact us to discuss cost and availability for this.
