What to expect

This is a gently guided, full day immersive experience that unfolds across nature, shared moments, and creative exploration.

We begin outdoors on 11 Acres  permaculture farm, reconnecting with the land and slowing into presence through simple, sensory awareness. The space is alive with natural elements, including gardens and a small number of resident animals that form part of the environment.

From there, the day moves into a shared kitchen setting, where you’ll take part in preparing and enjoying a meal together. The experience then opens into a creative reflection, where you’ll give form to what has been felt and discovered.

The day flows between outdoor and indoor spaces, with both individual and shared moments throughout. No prior experience is needed. You’re simply invited to arrive as you are.

In the case of wet weather, the experience will adapt while maintaining its intention and flow.

Food experience

As part of the day, we prepare and share a meal together guided by a professional chef, using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.

This is a hands on experience where you’ll be involved in preparing elements of the full menu. The dishes are thoughtfully designed around what is in season and available, creating a rich and sensory experience of food, flavour, and connection.

The menu may include a range of ingredients such as dairy, eggs, and meat, depending on the chef’s selection. While you are always welcome to engage in a way that feels comfortable for you, the experience takes place within a shared kitchen environment where these ingredients are used.

If you have severe allergies or medical dietary requirements, please reach out prior to booking to ensure this experience is suitable for you.

This experience is designed as a shared culinary journey rather than a customisable menu.

What to bring

• Comfortable clothing that allows you to move with ease throughout the day, including time spent both outdoors and indoors.

• Closed toe shoes are recommended, suitable for walking on grass and natural ground, and for working comfortably in the kitchen.

• A water bottle and anything else that helps you feel at ease.

• Most importantly, an openness to slow down, connect, and take part in the experience.

Important to know 

This experience is not a therapy session or clinical support offering. It is designed for those who feel open to self reflection and personal exploration.
