Food and drink

• We will be cooking up delicious, hearty and healthy meals – concocted with fresh vegetarian ingredients.

• You might want to supplement meals with snacks you bring yourself.

• There will be a bottomless supply of tea available to keep you energised throughout! Please note that this is an alcohol free event.

Digital detox

• One of the things that people find most beneficial about our programmes is the opportunity to enjoy a multi-day digital detox. We encourage you to get any last minute correspondence done before you arrive on site, as we will invite you to lock your phone in a box when we first gather. We also recognise that this is not possible for everyone (particularly those with caring responsibilities) and can explore what feels possible and good for you.

• If you’d like to be contactable during our week together (e.g. in case of an emergency), please do share our camp phone number with friends or family – 07754 204074. The camp phone gets checked for text messages twice a day and is turned off over night.
