Awaken from your Winter Slumber!
You are invited to a Spring Day Retreat in the wilds of the Forest of Bowland to shake off the remnants of Winter and celebrate the return of Spring.

The Art of Making Plant Inks with Helen Reece – creative workshop
I am honoured that Helen Leece (holistic therapist helping people improve their wellbeing with nature) will be guiding us on this workshop.
