THE SEASONAL PROGRAMME · 2027

The Turning Year.

Four hinge points. One place to return to.

At the equinoxes and solstices we gather at Hensol Wood: walking, noticing, eating together around the fire, and feeling the changes in the light.

THE SHAPE OF A DAY

Arrive. Walk.
Eat. Notice.

The day runs from 10am to 3.30pm, with arrival around the fire, a slow woodland walk, soup and bread, time alone among the trees, making something small to carry home, and a seasonal reading followed by silence. There is no pressure to speak or share. Final arrangements for each 2027 gathering will accompany its booking details.

Winter Stillness on 19 December 2026 is fully booked, with a waiting list. A further Dark Skies Evening is planned for October 2027; its date will be announced.
