Description
Earth Living is a space for exploring interconnectedness though creativity, immersion in nature and community. For the 2 years we have gathered together in Oxfordshire to move, swim, forage, sing and share nourishing food and time together with the land. This year we will be hosting a 1 day event focused on cultivating connection and belonging through therapeutic arts practices, sound and discovering wild food...

Our therapeutic arts workshops are an immersive journey with the wilderness outside and within, including movement, vocal flow, playful exploration, meditations, visualisation, relaxations and reflective drawing or journaling. They are held by four creative arts practitioners (Karola, Via, Cero and Alice), who also have a background in yoga, storytelling, psychology, theatre, poetry, community arts, primal movement, voice therapeutics and activism.
In the late afternoon our local forager, Justine, will share her knowledge on the wisdom of plants in a guided sensory walk followed by wild cooking. We will finish the day with evening live music, singing and a sound relaxation with Emily Cobie (founder of Oh Shala Festival) and friends.
There will be opportunities to try wild swimming, book a massage or take a wild bath in the woods throughout the event.
Our intimate soulful, soil-full community is in the heart of nature; a farm on the edge of the woods, only a stoneβs throw away from the River Thames. We invite you to join us under the tree branches to discover and experience an embodied relationship with nature, balancing your energy through song and relaxation. Receive the nourishment of the earth through wholesome food and be immersed in the cool, natural waters of the Thames.
Breakfast fruit and snacks, lunch, and dinner are provided, all cooked from scratch by our onsite chef and volunteers. The menu will be a mixture of healthy, plant-based food, including lots of hemp-inspired recipes & home grown veg from our garden! 100% vegan.
Provisional timings: 9:30am arrival, 9:30pm departure.
