Merkaba in Full Flow  1st August - 15th September 2017

Hosted By: Merkaba's Past and Present Guests

Due to the success of "Merkaba in Full flow" that was hosted by the

community earlier this year, were now back! Not only bigger, but better

and for longer this time :)

As part of our ongoing quest to provide the most unforgettable

community experience, Merkaba will again be collaborating with

various other yogis, healers, masseuses and the like, all whom of

which we have met along our magical journey and since have realised

that by teaming up we can offer something which one can only

describe as a certain je ne sais quoi. A truly empowering and really

relaxed experience is assured, so why not come and join us and

experience our "new way of living" for yourself :)

Each day will offer a daily yoga practice, some instructor led but some

freeflow classes too in order to really encourage what yoga is all about

- the loss of the ego and the direction within. Each day your pallet will

be tantilised and satisfied with our home grown food whilst you are

presented with a plethora of ways to get creative, join us on beautiful

walks in nature, visit local historic attractions, swim in secluded

waterfall lakes all whilst still having some you time where you can be

part of a growing community where we laugh, love and be loved.

If your wanting the community experiences and a chance to live this off

grid lifestyle, this ones for you! :)

No Fashion No Factory 15th August - 31st August 2017

Hosted By: Mau Hugeat & Family

This man needs little if no introduction as far

as we are concerned... its his 3rd return to

the mountain and for those already touched

by his ink, we know there to now be no other.

His work is truly unique and along with the

support of his family, Mau offers an

unforgettable tattoo experience. I think its

best left to him to describe... "I have

dedicated my life to spreading the culture of

tattoos and to demonstrate that it is not a

business but rather an ancient ritual without

the aim to gain"... Rather than give you what

you want, you'll leave with that which you

need :) For more information / pricing, please contact:

Healing with Plant Medicines   1st - 5th October 2017

Hosted By: Caroline Knight / Rachael Howard

Magnetic Movement is a healing retreat comprising

of many healing modalities. Caroline and Rachael

both work with powerful plant medicines and both

share a passion and talent for assisting others in

their healing processes, after much work with

medicinal plants, and overcoming many personal

challenges themselves.

Our retreats are set in wild nature and facilitate

expansion of consciousness; they are for anyone

interested in deep personal exploration, sharing

and reconnecting to ourselves, others and nature.

We aim to bring you the most beneficial combination of healing experiences. Our retreats consist of

plant based medicine ceremonies, plus introductions to other plants, such as mugwort, rapé, pusanga

and sananga. There will be a cacao ceremony, dance meditation, yoga, shamanic journeying,

shamanic energy healing, arts and crafts, a water experience, tarot & divination, and nature walks. We

have sharing and integration sessions after each ceremony.

While on this retreat you will be looked after with the most nutritious organic food; the retreat doubles

up as a detox to keep you as clean and healthy as possible, and to give the plants the best conditions

to work within you.

We wish to encourage others to expand their notions of what is possible for collective evolution so that

we may all play our parts in a new, more healthy paradigm, while experiencing awe at the mystery of

life. Find out more about us on our website www.magnetic-movement.com and

www.facebook.com/themagneticmovement for full details and bookings.

Earthship Greenhouse Eco Build Part 2 11th - 25th November 2017

Hosted By: Dan Kruger

Have you ever wanted to build something from scratch and learn skills that you yourself could one day

put to good use? Or are you simply stuck in a mundane 9-5 and want to stop pushing paper and get

your hands dirty for a change? Then this one is for you :) Again following on from the successful start

to the communities Eco Greenhouse back in spring of this year, we are now offering part 2 and again

need the help from those both skilled and unskilled in the construction industry. Places are limited so

hard workers are a must for this one as we plan to do a lot and cover much ground in a short space of

time. This 2nd part of the build will touch briefly on what we covered in part 1 (drainage, foundations

and how to build earth rammed tyre walls) and will then continue onto the design and construction of

roof (including the bond beam and rear butress - thus finishing the required structural support ) and in

the later part of the build the team will tackle the formation of the timber framework needed to hold the

glasswork to form the greenhouse entrance.

We are offering all selected members of the crew a reduced stay that will include all vegan meals

freshly prepared throughout the day by one of our in house chefs with plenty of teas and tasty snacks

in between to keep energy levels high... a daily yoga practice will be incorporated into the schedule

along with a couple of local attractions thrown in for good measure to help break the week(s) up. So if

this fits the bill and your wanting a life adventure, or simple something you can stand back from and

have a real sense of achievement then please get in touch.
