GATHERINGS...
are held throughout the year and are intended for those who have attended previous Conscious Connection events, or who feel confident and competent in conscious community building through authentic relating, compassionate communication and boundary holding. They are for those wanting to develop deeper community connection. With each gathering the community is deepening into heart-centred loving space together where we explore, experience, experiment, express and expand in conscious connection together. Gatherings are conscious spaces held with an intention of supporting deeply nurturing non- sexual intimacy and delicious deepening with self, other, and divine if desired. We dance, meditate, eat, share, celebrate, laugh, cry, hold, stroke and are together mindful of our own and others' vulnerabilities and gifts. We hold a semi-structured co-created space which evolves beautifully into the mystery of being. The mornings are structured with meditation, yoga, movement/walks. pods and a sharing circle, whilst afternoons are an invitation for others to offer their gifts, skills and passions. This could be anything from a nature walk, tree climbing adventure, meditation, chant, voice, story, massage, healing, tantric ritual, touch, massage, heart circle, cookery share or silent sauna, drum circle, body painting... We encourage spaciousness to be in quietness - alone and in connection, to savour the precious moments gifted to us, to breathe in nature's healing, nature's holding, nature's love. The ancient woodland tells tales of deep wisdom, and also hears your heart's longing. Go, take time - it is a most precious gift for YOU. All events are clothes optional both inside and in the woodland. All food is included. Limited mixed dorms available and camping/vans. Cost is between £185 - £205 Numbers limited to 25 participants CAMPS... A place to explore, experiment, express and expand into all that you can be with non- judgemental acceptance. It is a space of conscious connection to the deeper self, to other as beloved, and as divine essence to all that is sacred. It is childlike innocence, playfulness, depth and nurturing held in 88 acres of ancient river boundaried woodland that holds its own powerful mystery. A richly diverse range of workshops are offered on such themes as consent, conscious connection, touch, dance, shamanic journeying, angel healing, laughter yoga, story telling, tantric practice and ritual, sacred music jamming, sound baths and much more. They are small (40 max) intimate, nurturing, and deliciously healing. Friendships are made in the moment that can last a lifetime (be warned - we have had two weddings with people who have met at CC camps!) |
EVERYTHING OFFERED IS AN INVITATION, NEVER AN INSTRUCTION
Wild Ways events are clothes-optional and held in an energy of consciousness rising & non sexual intention, consequently alchohol and drugs are not welcomed on site. (See Booking & Location page for venue & more information) RETREATS...
Are in UK or overseas. They are intended around a theme, and include both learning and leisure. The format is held with more focus and structure - teaching - practice - free time - optional evening activity. They are more comfortable than camps and gatherings, being held inside with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Registration is currently open for a 4-day Conscious Connection Event: Spring Rising Retreat in Devon, UK 29 April till 2 May 2024. Some of the retreats are clothes optional. One or two are naturist only.
It is a great opportunity for those who are shy or have body issues to experiment with removing clothing slowly and safely in a fully- supportive environment where everything is an invitation - NEVER an instruction. CC events holds a strict non sexual space. If you are offended about nakedness please check beforehand to see nakedness may occur. As WILDWAYS is an 80 acre riverbound woodland site nakedness is permitted there. If you are curious, have body issue concerns or just want to make sure its safe please email me: [email protected] WORKSHOPS...
are either one- or two-day learning environments structured around a particular theme - meditation, consent, touch, massage, the art of taking etc. They begin and end at set times, and full attendance is required to avoid disturbing other participants' experience. Diversity in action: I am committed to anti-discriminatory practice, valuing and welcoming all, regardless of sameness or difference. We do not intend gender balancing. |
