Events

Like other organisations, we are running in-person events and continuing to hold online events as we have found them to be an opportunity to make new friends and contacts from the UK and beyond. It is great to meet with and feel part of a worldwide group of people who love and cherish our planet and all her creatures.

In Person:

Save the dates:

The GreenSpirit Snowdonia Retreat will be  August 23rd to 28th 2025. Reconnect with your body and unwind in nature, breathe fresh air, listen to birdsong, wander in shady Oak woods and wild swim in a glistening lake whenever you feel like it, to say nothing of sharing delicious vegan and vegetarian food, songs and stories round the fire and a hot tub beside the rushing stream. (more details very soon)

and

The GreenSpirit Annual Conference will take place at the Ammerdown Centre in Radstock from October 31st – November 2nd 2025. We will welcome Manda Scott  (https://mandascott.co.uk/)  bestselling author, smallholder, shamanic practitioner and teacher of an online course in thrutopia. (Thrutopia is a term coined by philosopher Rupert Read to describe a way to imagine a better future. It’s a visionary narrative that combines elements of utopia and dystopia to offer a practical way to address current conflicts)

Lammas Celebration Monday 4th Aug. 2025

7pm online

At Lammas (also known as Lughnasadh) summer days are at their hottest and our countryside can be parched and dry. Many flowers have been and gone, leaving behind seed heads and fruit. The colours of the countryside are the browns of dried grasses, dotted with mourning purples, whites and blood scarlet poppies. The days are noticeably shorter; although the weather may still be hot and the time of year means “holidays” for many people, the Sun is dropping and the year is beginning to die. Fruits and berries are ripening, and the first of the corn is being cut. Lammas is the time of the first harvest.
Our Ancestors would have celebrated the beginning of the harvest season, and so we too, though not so closely in touch with the countryside, will meet to declare our gratitude for the sustenance of the Earth. Please bring a seasonal reading, song, poem, story, or recipe… and if you are growing herbs, fruit, vegetables etc. tell us about your produce.
Have a candle to light to open sacred space and wear something colourful if you wish.

ANAM CARA

A gathering of souls who sense they are on a journey; for companionship and support.
We begin the session with a check-in and the creation of sacred space, (with meditation, a reading or silence). Then, maybe with the help of some questions, we will share from our hearts and witness the sharing of others.  This is a time to slow down and truly connect in authenticity and growing self awareness.

Evenings: Mondays (not bank holidays) 7 pm on Zoom, group is full, please enquire if interested.

Daytime:  We meet at 10am on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday morning of each month, our next meetings are July 2nd  at 10 am, then July 16th ’25 at 10am.

(For more information & zoom details, please contact Hilary Norton hnorton(at)greenspirit.org.uk )

Our Conversation CAFÉs on zoom

The next Conversation Cafes are at  7pm on Friday July 18th 2025, 10am Wed 13th Aug. and 7pm Wed.  10th Sept.

Jenny Joyce & Hilary Norton invite you to join our “Conversation Café” – a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears & uncertainties about our future and the complexities of the world can be safely expressed. World events impact us all in many ways, and it can be hard to share our thoughts and feelings. This is an advice-free zone where all feelings are welcome! We don’t have the answers, but sharing helps us to build some resilience to deal with inevitable changes. This is an advice-free zone where all feelings are welcome!

Feel free to bring a cuppa, biscuits, etc.
