COME TO SEMPERVIVUM EASTER WEEK at Laurieston Hall, Dumfries and Galloway 16th-23rd April.
Here’s how it tends to work: early on we each decide our focus for the week — then meet in morning groups that may focus on creative writing, crafting, walking, inner journeying, stand up comedy, photography, deep ecology, whatever folk offer. There are one off afternoon workshops on anything people choose to make happen.
In the evening there tend to be all-inclusive happenings: dancing, ceilidh, cabaret performances
Wholesome and delicious vegetarian food includes produce grown on Laurieston’s own smallholding. Meals are served communally in the dining room and participants are invited to take part in a cooking rota — but that’s all part of the fun. Accommodation is in family rooms, dorms, or camping. There’s a creative Kids Club for 3 to 12 year-olds, with games, dressing up, boat trips and den building. Please email Jan.herman@blueyonder.co.uk for more info and booking form.
