Walking the Story of the Universe
Redlynch, Somerset
Friday 29th June - Sunday 1st July 2012
With Greg Morter, Richard Adams and Ian Mowll
For details of this walk go to:

For details of the Universe Story walks in general and information about this walk go to:
http://www.universewalk.co.uk/
In association with GreenSpirit.
Come with us to walk the story of the Universe, from the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, through the creation of the stars, galaxies and planet Earth; tracing the evolution of life on our planet through to today. We will walk 13.7 km making each metre equivalent to a million years.
During the weekend we will learn a lot about the science of the unfolding Universe - no scientific background is necessary - explanations will be simple enough for everyone to understand. And we will have time for ritual, poems, music and conversation as we embody the experience of this awesome journey and ask questions about its significance in our lives.
We will learn that everything came from the same source and that we are made up of star-dust, the remnants of a great supernova explosion billions of years ago.
We will be camping in tents or you can stay at a local bed and breakfast. Delicious food, vegetarian, home-made and locally sourced where possible is included in the price of the weekend.

Wild Week in Wales
Connecting with Nature at Cae Mabon, Snowdonia
Friday 17th - Thursday 23rd August 2012
A week of living close to each other and capturing the meaning of GreenSpirit: living in a loving consciousness of the interconnected world. We enjoy being in and celebrating our natural surroundings together, go walking, sing and tell stories around the fire in the round house and relax in the hot tub under the oak trees and stars. This holiday is like a retreat from our busy lives and is always nurturing. People who attend are invited to bring something they can share, like a workshop, stories, songs, favourite recipes, musical instruments...
The Wild Week takes place at Cae Mabon in Snowdonia. Cae Mabon is set in natural woodland by a rushing river, near a deep lake, at the foot of high mountains and almost within sight of the sea. A family of beautiful, natural, earthy structures provide appealing spaces for groups to sleep, meet, retreat, work and play.
We cook our meals together and can therefore cater for any kind of diet, and the cost of the holiday depends on the number of people attending and should not be more than £180 each.
For more information see the Cae Mabon website at www.caemabon.co.uk. To enquire or to book, contact Hilary Norton t: 020 8470 3365 e: hapn (at) greenspirit.org.uk, 33 Park Road, Stratford, London. E15 3QP. Due to the increasing popularity of the Wild Week, you are advised to book early to secure your place.
