Seasonal Family Celebrations
Come with your family, your friends or just yourself—and meet new kindred spirits.
As we gather with the turning of the year, these family-friendly days are a celebration of story, craft, nature, and community, marking the seasons not with rush, but with rhythm.
What Happens at a Gathering?
We begin at the Broompark Picnic Area, and after a gentle welcome and chance to brush off the "road dust," we walk together, past hedgerows and along the lane—toward a magical hidden space where the hearth fire awaits.
Each gathering follows a gentle and welcoming rhythm and can include:
🌿 Mindful arrival & nature connection
🧙 Seasonal plant lore & storytelling
🎨 Creative, therapeutic activities for all ages
🔥 Circle time by the fire—sharing, singing, reflecting
🪕 Live music and community song
🌳 Space to rest, journal, picnic, or just be beneath the sky
👩🌾 Opportunities to learn about the land project at Abundant Earth, explore food growing and wild foraging.
Some find a quiet spot beneath a tree. Others share songs or stories passed down through generations or newly made.
Children craft, play, explore. Adults learn skills and share wisdom. Everyone is welcome to join in—or to sit back, listen, and soak it all in.We honour nature, diversity, and the unseen threads that bind us all.

🍏 Autumn Equinox
Season of Balance and Change
Date: Sunday 21st September
Time: 1pm – 6pm
At this transitional point of the year, the light of the suns rays greet the central band of the earth. A time to recognise and honour the essential balance of light and dark across the globe and celebrate the rich, colourful bounty of the season.
Under the sky of the new moon we will balance science with mystery, setting intentions to carry us forward through the restorative and nurturing months, when life slows down and our roots are nourished.
