Soundscape Experience @ The Wild Retreat

Where: Gardeners Cottage, Letton HR3 6DH
When: Sunday 4th August
Time: 2.00pm – 3.15pm
Cost: £12.00

We invite you into this beautiful garden to experience a journey with sound from nature and instruments. Nature will provide her sounds and Bridget will add sounds from Himalayan singing bowls, gong, drum, voice and percussion instruments to take you into a state of deep relaxation. Our mind is quietened and we go into a deeper space where we find our creative, intuitive and wise selves. Our brain waves slow down and enter the Theta state, this is considered the subconscious mind that retains memories and feelings and also directs our beliefs and behaviour, in this deeply relaxed state we are able to process our hidden gems and hurts and release our hang ups.

You will be held lying or sitting on the grassy earth, under cover, please bring whatever you need to make yourself super comfy.

Hattie Duke and Bridget Rowan invite you to join them on a woodland wellness exploration over 3 weekly sessions. Nature is our teacher, guiding us through the seasons and as we begin to move into autumn we feel gratitude for what we have achieved and harvested over the summer. We will explore our wild edges and allow the woodland to be a tonic for our whole being.

Are you ready for the adventure?

Hattie Duke currently works as a nature-based facilitator and mother of twins. After exploring the world she has settled into being guardian of a woodland here. She is fascinated by people’s stories and finding ways to internal and external peace through remembering our connection with nature.

Holy Days Hedgerow Communion 2024

With Simon Lockett and Bridget Rowan

Lammas is a celebration of the summer and the gathering of the grain harvest, usually around the 1^st August. In old times the whole village would help to cut, thresh, store and stack the wheat, barley, oats and rye and after this was done there was a celebration to John Barleycorn with feasting and counting their blessings. It is the festival of gratitude for what the earth has provided especially when there are those in the world going hungry. The last sheaf was often cut by the youngest girl present and fashioned into corn dollies that were paraded through the village and burnt ceremonially on the Lammas fire or hung above fireplaces. The grain will provide food through the winter and seeds for planting for the following harvest. This holy day also marks a turning point as the whispers of Autumn arrive. On a personal level this is a time to celebrate your achievements so far and contemplate what seeds you would like to incubate within over the coming months.

Simon Lockett and Bridget Rowan invite you to join them to celebrate Lammas on Tuesday 30^th July 6.30pm at Craswell Church with a Hedgerow communion and meditation. Please bring an offering from your harvest (grown or made) to add to the basket of abundance that we will all take from.

All are welcome and bring your own spirituality.
