Other Courses You Might Like

Positive Ageing

20th June 2025 - 22nd June 2025

Ageing gets a bad press, portrayed as being downhill all the way. However, contrary to expectations, happiness goes up after fifty rather than down and there are other gains of age like wisdom, emotional mastery and multiple forms of intelligence. This retreat shows you how to use positive psychology to make the most of the third act and sow the seeds of a happy and meaningful later life.

Sketchbooking

25th May 2025

A day dedicated to the art of looking, you’ll take in the beautiful grounds at Hawkwood and spend the day painting. Students will start off sketching under birdsong, in the kitchen-gardens, before some detailed experiments in mixing colours in watercolour and a spectacular two course lunch. One-one guidance will take away fear of the blank page; this class is the perfect launch to start a regular journal or sketchbook practice.

The Art of Good Ancestry

20th September 2025

How to find hope across the landscape of time. How can we become good ancestors? How can reinventing our relationship with time be a source of hope and inspiration for personal and social change? These are the questions you will be exploring in this one-day course with social philosopher and internationally bestselling author Roman Krznaric. You’ll be taking journeys into both the past and future to open your imagination to new ways of organising our politics, economies and community life, revealing possibilities for hope in our turbulent times.
