I must say: I had a great weekend. And the weather and the forest were very kind to us too. It’s almost 2 weeks ago now since we were in Epping Forest. It was another busy (but distanced!) workshop – 12 of us each day – pretty much full. There certainly is an appetite for…

The first workshop of the year. Later than normal – we all know why. A brilliant group. Vibrant and full of dynamism and energy for moving and being, projects and developments. It was so good to be out again, with others – in a landscape, with curiosity and in practice. It’s been 2 weeks since…

**Appropriate adaptations will be made to comply with current Covid-19 government guidance.**  KINSHIP makes a debut this year to Kenilworth and the surrounding Warwickshire countryside. Kenilworth is a small town within easy reach of Coventry, Birmingham, Warwick and Leamington Spa. Each day we will head out from the town into the local countryside to some stunning…

** Participant numbers updated – please see notes below ** KINSHIP returns once again to favourite sites in Epping Forest at the end of August. Epping Forest is uniquely placed within easy reach of London (at the end of the Central Line) and so makes it more easily accessible for many people. At the same…

** Participant numbers updated – please see notes below ** KINSHIP returns to Hebden Bridge in the Upper Calder Valley, West Yorkshire for the first workshop in the 2020 season! A 2 day weekend workshop, open for participants to join for one day or the whole weekend (priority given to those booking the whole weekend)….

Kinship has a new website address! http://www.kinshipworkshop.info This is a very late new season message… normally I would have had the programme published and started taking bookings months ago. We all know the reason why, but that hasn’t stopped Spring from springing and wild beings and places jumping into life… life moves on. I know…

The light is returning after mid-winter and there are only a few days left of this year, so here are some reflections from this past year’s Kinship Workshops. Kinship had six outings in 2019: Dartmoor, Schiedam in Holland, Dundee & Tentsmuir Forest, Hebden Bridge, Brecon Beacons and Epping Forest. There were 36 participants and we…

Here is a link to some writing that Katye Coe and I have put together about what has been percolating for us this season… Kinship co-writing 2019

This September was quite quiet on the uptake for workshops, so Katye and I decided to take the Brecon Beacon workshop as a time for personal practice. The site was near the town of Brecon – a stunning location near a mountain lake, nestled in a small valley with expansive views and great forage opportunities….

It’s been almost 2 months since Kinship went to Hebden Bridge for a 3 day workshop. Looking back at these pictures, I’m remembering some good conversations… about taking care of the individual and unique nervous systems of each other, about veganism, what’s important in the world, seeking out the edges and how we participate. And…

(*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…

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…
