Bringing back a sense of connection

Bringing back a sense of connection to ourselves, others, and our surroundings

Feeling disconnected from yourself, the environment, and others? 
 
During the pandemic, most of us have felt a sense of disconnect with the world, others, and ourselves. The aim of our session is to provide a way to connect back into our bodies and mind, and to feel grounded to nature, by giving us a sense of connection. The roundhouse is the perfect environment to get this sense of connectivity to the earth back.

This is an invitation from us to reconnect and explore, in a beautiful setting with people on the same quest, with a sense of playfulness and open-mindedness.

Come and join us in Maggie’s beautiful roundhouse and wild garden!
