For your course the Bunkhouse can be hired with the Mushroom Shed. The Mushroom Shed is a converted large timber framed building in the heart of the farm. It is super insulated, heated off a bio mass boiler and has a living roof.

The Mushroom Shed is an ideal space for teaching, when holding residential courses and retreats here at the farm. The space is adaptable and can be set up to suit your course e.g. with chairs and a smart screen, or a more informal space with bean bags. See below for details.

  • Re-Imagining Gaia

    6th May 2017

    Gaia is the philosophy of a Living Earth.

    We will explore a Gaian Worldview through Mindfulness and Well Being

    Gaian thinking encompasses many proponents throughout history, including most recently the physicist James Lovelock also Buddhist and Deep Ecolologist, Joanna Macy.

    Applying meditation and mindfulness techniques to explore Well Being we will re-place ourselves in nature.

    This is an experiential workshop where we will slow down while guided through a story of practical exercises to heighten our presence in the natural world.
