The Earthworks circle is an opportunity to come together to deepen our connection with nature and build the foundations of psychological strength and resilience. This course consists of 8 outdoor days, each drawing inspiration from the natural season for certain capacities and qualities that can become part of our internal resources.

This is the harvest time of year when we are gathering in the goodness of summer to sustain us through the winter. The hard work is done and we can rest and reap the rewards. This day is focused on nourishing and nurturing yourself. The aim of the day is to develop the underlying attitude of nurture towards yourself. Learning to care for ourselves is not so easy, it’s not so easy to keep faith with ourselves when things go badly and stay supportive instead of getting harsh and critical with ourselves. Yet this is the very cornerstone of resilience, helping us to pick ourselves up and do better, rather than to beat ourselves down into defeat. This day draws on the science of compassion focused therapy. The day is followed by a 1:1 session included in the price, in which we can consolidate your personal discoveries and identify tools to meet your personal needs in relation to the theme of the session.

Session cost: £125, concession fees available.

Location: Cottar House garden. Option to camp the night before for a deeper nature immersion experience.

Max. 8 participants.
