At this Final Harvest as we approach Samhain and deepest Autumn, can you take the space you deserve and let go 🍂

What will you allow to truly fall? To what do you wish to say Goodbye? What grief and sorrow are you carrying from the collective you wish to express? For what or whom do you wish to grieve - a person, a place, the Earth, perhaps a part of yourself?

This is an Intimate group gathering for Women only * where you are invited to tend to your grief through creative expression, embodied practice and shared ritual.

Join Little Forest School and step into the woods this autumn and share a morning of seasonal wonder with your child. Guided by Heidi-Jo, a qualified Forest School Leader, we’ll spend time together in the crisp woodland air, surrounded by glowing leaves, smoky firelight, and the simple joys of the season.

Can you solve the mystery of the Roman dodecahedrons?
Spend a day travelling back in time to the days of the Romans in Britain with Jo, The Woven Owl and Schools Without Walls. Through handling replica artefacts and hands-on activities discover about life in Roman Britain
How did they light fires and whose letter about a party was found at Hadrian’s Wall?  Discover the answers to these questions as well as making your own Roman Vindolanda owl pot, write your own scroll of Roman sayings and much more.

This special session is a collaboration between our Forest School leader and a guest chef, bringing together the magic of Forest School with the joy of cooking and eating outdoors.

The woods are full of playful exploration, creative activities, and time around the fire, where we’ll prepare and enjoy a delicious seasonal soup and freshly baked bread together. Everyone has a part to play — from chopping and stirring to kneading and tasting. The fire becomes our kitchen and the forest our dining room.

A fungus hunt for the whole family to enjoy, especially geared to children.
