GreenSpirit Annual Gathering 2024

From Composting to Co-Creation

Friday 18th October – Sunday 20th October 2024

At Shallowford House, Shallowford, Stone, Staffordshire. ST15 0NZ

We live in a world of beauty and joy, but also in turbulent times with suffering among humans and in all of nature. Green spirituality reminds us that creation and transformation are part of the journey and that we can unfold into every moment: how can we co-create with nature?

Alan Heeks – the speaker – will guide us through a process to help us explore this, in Shallowford’s gardens if weather permits. He will draw on his new book “Natural Happiness: Use Organic Gardening Skills to Cultivate Yourself.”

We begin with recovering our sense of rootedness and unity with nature, then composting our difficulties, we will seek guidance from our souls, from our spiritual guides and from the wisdom of nature on how to deepen our presence in the unfolding of a positive future.

We will also have time for conversations about the world we want to see and how we can develop our creativity and resourcefulness in the face of uncertainty.

The weekend will start at the evening meal on the Friday and will end after lunch on the Sunday. During the weekend we will also have a chance to connect with each other and the natural world with some ceremony and meditations, creative activities, informal conversations, and, after our AGM on Sunday, have the chance to share what we are taking away from the weekend.

All food during the weekend will be vegetarian. Vegan or other diets for medical reasons can be catered for.

Everyone is very welcome to this event; you do not need to be a GreenSpirit member to join in. Our gatherings are a mixture of old friends and new and we look forward to meeting you.
