Claridge House has heard the need for our newfound love of nature in these difficult times. The following course weaves a variety of leaders and workshops, walks, plant knowledge, natural beekeeping, art in the garden, Tai Chi and a variety of meditations by the firepit – to enrich a wide range of interests and guests from the discerning to the curious - all in the safe hands of Claridge House. By the time you leave you will be more at peace, more grounded with a deeper connection to our natural world as well as being introduced to a variety of ancient knowledge you can take further. We have structured the programme to ensure minimum risk as it will take place outside. We have made provision for inclement weather for some aspects of the programme for only those who will not be able to attend in the rain for health reasons but not for the entire course. No matter the weather, this is primarily an outside course and that’s where it will take place. Please ensure you bring appropriate walking boots, umbrellas and rain gear.
