Step into a living conversation between inner awareness and the more-than-human world.

This unique series of workshops - co-led by Barn Manager Tasha - invites you to explore the fertile meeting point of ecological understanding and inner work--an embodied remembering of our deep belonging to the land.

This is the first of four workshops spread throughout the year where you're invited (through guided practices and shared inquiry) to deepen your intimacy with nature and sharpen your ability to read both inner and outer landscapes.

From sensing our place in deep geological time to discovering the subtle languages that pass between species, each workshop offers moments of insight, wonder, and awe.

Workshops run from 9.45am to 3pm on the following Sundays with the following subjects and leaders:
💚24 May: Earth Time with Romilly Keen
💚21 June: Bird Language with Kara Moses
💚9 August: Wildlife Awareness with Tom Wilson
💚27 September: Mycology with Honor Moon

You can purchase all four workshops or each one individually via our website - search "Awakening Relations".
