Here’s our recommendations for the summer months and a bit beyond:
Taking bookings NOW!
A brand new BUSHCRAFT CLUB will start up in September 2019 for young people aged about 10 and beyond, learning together with their adult. PAYF approx £5 per adult-child in advance by contacting Liz on [email protected]. See the attached flyer for details (above). Places are very limited because we’ll be using edge tools and they need close supervision. Some fabulous projects are planned!
The Club is just one part of a Young People’s Forest School programme which will also include collaborations with Youth Workers from Youth Work Europe in the school holidays from August 2019, and regular sessions with pupils from Queensbridge School from September 2019. Funded by Big Lottery till April 2020.

HEALING CEREMONIES DURING SEPTEMBER
Following the devastating arson attack on our Resource Base in May, lots of people suggested we have some healing rituals and ceremonies to bring a sense of closure to the ruins, and to rise up like the phoenix in better shape than ever! Here they are. Some are yet to be firmed up, more may be added soon.
Sunday 1st September 1-3, T’ai Chi at the Orchard with John and Julie (to be confirmed), followed by seed sowing/ planting in the burnt soil.
Saturday 14th September 4:30 - A Story Walk with Graham Langley in the Orchard and Park, tickets are £5 (£2 per child) available from XOver Nutrition, Kitchen Garden Cafe shop, at Highbury Orchard events.
Sunday 15th September 11-1 OM Chanting at the Orchard with Saraswati and friends from the Karma Centre, and Rosary Prayers 2-4 (to be confirmed)
WOODLAND PLAY (Wednesdays) returns on 11th September. We openly welcome families of all sorts with children aged 0-8, and cater for a wide range of needs. With thanks to Tesco Bags of Help for financial support.
