1st – Kincentrism with Rachel Corby
Kincentrism is both an emergent and ancient world view. Rooted in a deep sense of human kind belonging as very much part of nature, not separate, not superior. A world view where the ‘more than human’ are acknowledged as possessing intelligence, sensibilities, subjecthood and intentionality as being kin. Can this way of being become imbedded in human thinking, action, strategy and decision making as we navigate our current crisis and the threat to continuing life on Earth? Let’s explore kincentrism and how a few subtle changes to our daily habits and behaviour can have a great impact for an inclusive and harmonious future here as Earth citizens.
15th – Sound healing Gong immersion with Preet Kaur
The Gong is a sacred and ancient tool for healing and transformation. Layer upon layer of vibrations released from the Gong create a cocoon or an envelope of sound eventually leading to total sound. It feels like you are being completely immersed in an ocean of healing vibration. It is a deeply restorative sonic massage. It supports you on all levels of your being; physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

10th – The story in the stones with John Dalton – with harp accompaniment
We will look at what stone really is, its origins and function. How is it represented in the human being. Were the ancients astonishing achievements in sculpting stone thanks to lost knowledge, to stone softening and to stone being different, more alive than what it is today? According to Steiner, our earth is now well past middle age and hardening, losing its natural vitality, and if this is true what is our human destiny?
