Rewilding yourself through mindful experiences
All the experiences selected for the day draw on nature, and the wellbeing benefits that can be gained from immersing ourselves within it. The process of working with our hands, learning new techniques, and becoming open to new ideas and possibilities can make us more engaged with our minds and our bodies. As we become absorbed in the process of making, listening, seeing and tasting, with the space to explore your creativity and the natural world around us, we hope you will feel inspired and invigorated by your stay with us on this special weekend.

Brook Meadow Dog Show
Possibly the sweetest Dog Show you’ve ever seen with a fabulous turn out! It was a pleasure to host such well behaved dogs and owners strutting their stuff in the straw bale show ring to display their tricks, fine coats and personalities in the sunshine. Our guest judge, neighbouring vet legend, Moyra Butler had a hard job to choose the winners, but the wide range of categories ensured nearly every pet won something!! Such was the success of this 'pawsome' event we plan to run more light hearted dog shows in the future school summer holidays.

Forest Bathing
Take a 15 minute walk to our woodland wedding venue where you can unwind in the serenity of a forest glade, and immerse yourself in a calming experience that is "forest bathing". Forest bathing is an ancient Japanese process of relaxation, (shinrin yoku). Simply being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing and connecting with nature around you; noticing the light dappled leaves or the sound of movement amongst the trees. We will supply some blankets and cushions to lay down and relax in comfort so you may benefit from the rejuvenating experience. If anyone should need transporting there or back, please let us know. Last minute booking is possible.

what's included and what costs extraAll our wonderful hosts and collaborators will provide the opportunity to attend free taster sessions, talks and activities, so you can enjoy plenty of things to do on the day that are included in your ticket.
There will also be the opportunity to take part in some more in-depth experiences or treatments, which will have an additional fee. You will be able to sign up for these and pay in advance. For example, a 30-minute reflexology talk will take place to be attended in pairs, but if you would like a personal one-to-one treatment in Carly's relaxation tent, you can book and pay for that session separately.
