(*CHANGE OF DATES: NOW A ONE DAY WORKSHOP IN EPPING FOREST) I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the school strike for climate movement and Extinction Rebellion. It feels more and more important to take care of the relationship between our next generation and nature. This special edition Kinship Workshop is for everyone, but with…
ROUND-UP: Dundee & Tentsmuir Forest 2019
There’s something in the air these days and months. It could be the scent of change. I receive signals and news of future loss, paradigm shifts, system collapse and climate breakdown. And I don’t know if I’ll make it… or if any of us will. They’re stark words aren’t they… When I go out with…
ROUND-UP: Schiedam 2019
I was buoyed up by this group of young people. Brilliant! They met new experiences with humour, curiosity and willingness. I have been thinking a lot about the future recently, often with melancholia, and so to take this gang out into wilder places, freshened me and my spirits right up! …We can meet whatever is…
ROUND-UP: Dartmoor 2019
I’ve been teaching in Holland for 2 weeks and yesterday was the second workshop of the season in Schiedam not far from Rotterdam… so I thought I better get on with some Rounding-up before they run away with me! This year’s workshop on Dartmoor was the third time Kinship has happened there. It changes. It…
KINSHIP CAMP: Brecon Beacons 5-8 September 2019
There is a beautiful mountain lake in the Brecon Beacons that I discovered with Katye a couple of years ago. It is surrounded by magnificent views of the Brecon landscape and there are free-roaming animals that graze the surrounding hills. At the bottom of the hill there is a wild camping spot next to a…

I’m very pleased to announce another workshop in Dundee & Tentsmuir in June 2019. This will be the second time that we will head out to the Fife gem of Tentsmuir Forest right on the North Sea. Scottish Dance Theatre is once again supporting the workshop to happen with the use of their Dundee Rep…
KINSHIP 2018: a review
2018 is coming to an end. I’m in France for Christmas and have been walking in the woods in grey and wet weather. Weather always looks worse from indoors. When you’re out, it’s something else. I learned a lot this year from being outside. In September 2017 I trialled a residential version of Kinship…
WILD PLACES: Upper Calder Valley, Yorkshire
In November I went up to Hebden Bridge to visit and walk with my friends Rob and Charlie. They have started an artist-led project called Wainsgate Dances at Wainsgate Chapel in Old Town, Hebden Bridge. I’d love to organise a workshop up there so Rob and I walked up onto the hills to see what…
NEW WORKSHOP: Dartmoor 20-24 May 2019
It gives me great pleasure to announce another Dartmoor workshop in May 2019. This will be the third year running that Kinship has been hosted in this beautiful place. I’m excited to introduce another group to Blissmoor. You can read about last year’s workshop HERE. Kinship workshops are led by myself, however, each iteration happens…
ROUND-UP: Cych Valley & Pembrokeshire Coast 2018
The last Kinship Workshop of the year in Pembrokeshire ended almost a month ago and now Autumn feels like it’s heading to Winter: the clocks have changed and the long nights have started… but in the past few days I have been in touch with some of the participants and this week together is still…
