If you are considering coming on a course please note:

You will need a sleeping bag - we provide a matress and pillow with pillow case.
The bunkhouse is comfortable but communal! There are three sleeping spaces, with four or five beds in each room. If you prefer privacy, you may want to bring a tent.

Camping

There is ample camping space with lovely views and a tree bog! The campsite is flat and close to the bunkhouse, but far enough away to get some peace and quiet.


You will need ...

Clothes for practical outside work.
Work boots are a good idea, and wellies if you have them.
Inside shoes/slippers are a good idea.
Materials for taking notes.
No dogs or other animals please.
The food will be mostly organic and vegetarian.

If you are on a course or event that finishes on Sunday or late at night please consider arranging your travel home in advance.

Contact your course/event tutor to see if they can arrange a lift share for you.

If you need to get a bus or a train please consider booking a taxi to the bus/train station in advance. Rural bus services are scant in the evenings and on Sunday, and getting a taxi at short notice in this area can be difficult.

  • Spilling Out From Words

    Sunday 11th February 2018 at Ragmans Lane Farm

    ‘Eco linguistics and the spirit of words’

    One day workshop with Mandy Pullen and Jane Embleton

    We will be gathering words, spellings, language, dialects, meanings, diction and more than likely, a good deal of gibberish . . . all in the spirit of words.

    Much of our focus will be on the role of language in the life-sustaining interactions of humans and other species and the physical environment. This is a practice known as Eco Linguistics, the idea being that if we slowly change the way we speak about the Earth and nature as being separate from us then, like magic, we can soon start to make amazing connections to others, including the more than human world.

    Further details and to book a space CLICK HERE or contact Mandy direct tel: 01594 541850 mobile: 07805 800313 email: info@mandypullen.co.uk

    Cost: £50 includes soup and bread lunch and refreshments.

    Tutor Details:

    Mandy Pullen is an eco shamanic practitioner based in the Forest of Dean. She runs workshops and trainings on Eco Shamanism in Gloucestershire and further afield. Mandy lived at the farm over 20 years ago and set up and ran the organic garden and box scheme.

    Jane Embleton is an expert when working with the way spirit dances in our language, our dreams and our landscapes. She lives and works in Somerset where she also runs private art classes.
