A four day focusing retreat in nature

We belong to the natural world just as much as a the crow or deer, yet somehow we have forgotten this. We have found ourselves disconnected from our home and from all that sustains us. We have forgotten our place in the more than human world. This immersive retreat will invite us to learn again how to listen and converse with the natural world, we will learn how to listen to it’s wisdom. Using nature connection practices and the embodied practice of Focusing, and all held in community, we will find again our place in the bigger family of things.

Held at a site in a sheltered valley near Polperro, South Cornwall

Some familiarity with Focusing partnerships is essential.

Practicalities
You will need your own camping kit (tent or shelter, sleeping mat and bag)
Two meals a day will be provided and cooked communally (breakfast and evening) so you will need to bring your own lunches. Full kit list will be shared 4 weeks before the event.

To keep our collective camp going, there will be daily tasks to share such as fire keeping and water collection.
