Step away from the noise and demands of daily life and immerse yourself in the stillness and beauty of 2,000 acres of ancient woodland at the foot of May Hill, Gloucestershire, England. Here, you will meditate, walk barefoot along winding forest paths, and sleep in comfort beneath the ancient canopy, cradled by the gentle whispers of the wild. As the boundaries between self and nature soften, you will begin to understand your own energy field and how modern life shapes your ability to feel and connect with the natural world.
The seven day-drama and music camps for young people aged 12 to 18. Participants will devise and rehearse an entirely original musical that will be performed at the end of the week.
Arrive Friday afternoon and embrace our woodland for 2 nights, making it your home. Bring all of the equipment that you might need to be self sufficient, and slip away to be at one with nature. Find a spot that you like and begin turning it into your own camping spot that you can return to at a later date.
