Keeping in touch
Like most of you we are struggling to keep pace with the unfolding situation around the Coronavirus. We have been caught between our instinct to keep a measure of isolation and an awareness that connection especially at times of stress is important.
Although many classes and events have closed for now, if you are in doubt please contact your provider.
We advise you subscribe to the mailing list so that you are able to be made aware of any last minute changes or one off events. The link to the this subscription is on the top right hand corner of this home page.
The Roundhouse
It has always been our dream to have a Roundhouse on the land and this year that dream came closer to reality as the work has begun!
Our vision is to create a beautiful roundhouse in the woods at the Centre as a focus for community celebration, a resource for nature connection, education and workshops.
Here is a link to our GoFundMe Page if you are interested and able to contribute to this project.
