WIDER HORIZONS – THE TRANSFORMATIONAL GATHERING IN NATURE FOR YOUNG ADULTS

Wider Horizons gatherings draw together like-minded people looking for a fuller, deeper purpose in their journey through life. They are an opportunity for benevolent brains to combine in creativity, explore the mysteries of life and learn from some of the greatest minds and experts in their field around all things mystical and conscious. Our aim to is equip you with the knowledge and confidence to embrace life with optimism and belief in the unbridled and mellifluous magic that we all possess.

* * SUMMER GATHERING POSTPONED * *

Our next gathering which was going to be held over Summer Solstice has been postponed and we do not know if it will be able to go ahead.

We have created Online Connection which is weekly on Tuesdays at 8pm where great minds and pioneers in their fields hold webinars and all have a chance to comment, share and ask questions.

We have created Online Connection to share tools for self-care and create a way for young adults to connect during the social distancing period. Our Summer gathering booking for Solstice, June 19-21, is being kept on hold at Wasing Woodland, and we do not know if it will go ahead.

We also have a facebook group you can join to connect with everyOne.
