Less than a month until Wild Heart and finally the spring sunshine is shining bright and beautiful here in Sussex.
Come and join us for a wild enchanting bank holiday weekend in the beautiful wilds of the south of England. This May we will be hosting a weekend of Music, wild crafts, delicious food, inspiring workshops, talks, debates, wild walks, forages, bushcrafts, yoga, dancing, meditation, song & much more.
We have a fantastic array of Music, Workshops, Talks, Cabaret, Food, Wild Crafts and much more this May.
The date has moved a little later this year due to the late winter and its also given us an opportunity to celebrate the Full moon of Saga Dawa, which is the most important day of the year for Tibetans. With this in mind we are inviting a group of Tibetans to run a small Tibetan area with Talks, films and delicious food. One of the speakers is a Lelung Rinpoche, who has recently been the subject of a documentary on BBC 2 called “The Buddha in Suburbia”.

Heart of the Uni-Verse with Sophia Efthimiou
World song Harmony Singing workshops. Everyone has a voice and it is our birthright to be able to use it to express ourselves. Much damage has been done to so many in regards to people’s feelings about whether they can or can’t sing. For me there is no question of ‘can or can’t’, it’s ‘do or don’t’. Through my work as a community musician and vocal leader I strive to enable everyone to connect with their innate creative self and find the abundant joy found in making music.

Martial arts & awareness: The Crucible of Stillness & The Buddha was a scout with Simon Carey Morgan
Wilderness philosophy in practice. Moving from the abstract born of the separation from perpetual movement, to the real liberated by stillness and fused in the intuitive experience of ‘speaking with the nature’ . The ability to witness omens and portents, the natural signs of being present and part of the natural world not just as an observer but as a co-creator. The balance of posture, breath and mind in coming to a still place is integral to the practice of the sacred silence and the developement of a free and wildheart. We will explore how to become still and how this then becomes the potential basis for silent movement in body mind and spirit.
“modern Apache scout is a treasure not to be neglected.
