More about Beyond a Story of Separation

Whatever our longings, for many of us, we experience life as separate individuals competing in scarcity for rightness, resources, and belonging. This leads to division and separation within each of us through how we experience ourselves, in our relationships with each other and life, and in the world around us.

This course offers a consciousness and tools that can help reveal and transform these mechanisms of the domination system we have inherited, internalised and continue to reproduce. It offers a pathway to recovering power and agency and being in compassionate relationship with ourselves, each other and life.

Together we will build the muscles to walk ourselves into this emerging paradigm of living and relating. Where we can meet what arises with care, hold it collaboratively, and engage with it as an invitation to restore connection with the flow of energy in our interdependent living system.

“Your workshop has been truly transformative for me. As emotions, feelings and inner voices flow through me, exposing unmet needs and desires I feel like I’m waking up from a long sleep.”

Forest Bathing

20th July 2025

Come and join Dee Aebischer, a qualified guide with the UK Forest Bathing Institute, who holds a Masters & PhD in Forest Science, as she leads you on a journey of discovery through the art of Forest Bathing (also known as Shinrin Yoku). This gentle, nature-based therapeutic practice was developed in Japan during the 1980s, with the purpose of reducing stress and enhancing mental and physical wellbeing. Although Shinrin Yoku is translated as “forest bathing”, there is no water involved, the term rather describes a state of becoming fully immersed in the forest atmosphere through awareness, observation and meditation.

Deep Ecology: Lughnasadh

3rd August 2025

Using experiential practices, ritual, and myth Jennifer and Mark will show how the principles of deep ecology can be aligned to our personal journey of growth and self-discovery. Understanding human consciousness as a component of the ecological process, we will seek to inspire a creative response to the energy of the seasonal cycle. Participants will have an opportunity to explore the connection between nature, human nature, and the quest for authenticity and meaning in their lives.
