Join us for a full joyful weekend this Summer at Havenhills. A weekend dedicated to nourishing ourselves - body, mind and spirit.
Food is at the heart of the weekend with workshops and delicious food throughout. We have workshops around growing and cooking vegetables, nutrition, the principals of good health and our nervous system, foraging and nature connection, plus movement with yoga and pilates.
There will be a chef cooking up a feast each night, where we will eat al fresco (weather permitting). On Friday we have Adam Purnell the Shropshire Lad cooking up vegetables on fire and on the Saturday Steve Guy, the Hungry Guy will be cooking up a feast.
Friday will begin with tea followed by a tour of the farm and a relaxing yoga session followed by a field to table feast cooked up by Adam Purnell.
Saturday begins with a pilates class and then breakfast. Katie Rothwell will then run a session called Rewire, Restore, Renew. Katie’s work centres around calming the nervous system, restoring natural movement, and creating space for the body to heal and thrive. Her approach blends modern science with simple, grounding practices inspired by nature, nourishment and mindful living. Karen and Jonathan will both be running workshops around growing your own food and inspiring ways to add more vegetables to your diet. There will be a walk to our neighbours' farm: Mark and Liz Lea who run Green Acres farm, an organic mixed farm where they will accompany you through their agroforestry project and take you to their mill and talk you through the way they farm.
Sunday is more on the wild side. We will start with some yoga, with a morning spent foraging with Lucy the Wilde Cook followed by an afternoon of nature connection with Rebecca Lambourne and Katie Rothwell.
There will be discussions of the wider issues around food, farming and diet so you will leave with a deeper understanding of nourishing food and how to tap into our evolved instincts as natural beings. It's a weekend to reset and recharge.
2 days of workshops
We have some amazing contributors to our weekend including Katie Rothwell who is will guide a series of gentle yet powerful sessions - from Pilates to restore confidence in movement, to workshops exploring the nervous system and the role of nutrition in supporting health, plus reflective journaling and meditation.
Lucy has run lots of foraging workshops here, she will lead a wander around the farm on Sunday and show some of the delights and possibilities of wild foods.
Rebecca Lambourne will lead an afternoon session explaining the proven benefits of being in nature and give you tools to help you to feel connected.
Cooking & growing
Karen will be running a workshop aimed at inspiring you to incorporate more vegetables into your life and eating more seasonally. We will be using fresh produce from the farm and she will demonstrate a variety of inspiring, easy, and fun ways to cook with vegetables. We’ll also explore the basics of nutrition and some of the wider issues around your food choices..
Jonathan will run an introduction to growing food workshop and cover everything from soil health to sowing, transplanting, watering, caring for plants and harvesting. We will explore different sustainable methods of growing in harmony with nature. This is not only for beginners but anyone wanting a quick start, or wanting to grow without artificial imputs. Jonathan has lots of tips around composting, companion planting and pest control.
Field to table feasts
Adam, the Shropshire Lad will cook up the first of the weekend's meals. He is something of a local celebrity cooking with fire, having organised the Fire Festival in Ironbridge in May this year. He runs Embers Café and Baked Bean Café also, both serving amazing food and bread. He will be shooting a YouTube Video when he is here also.
Steve Guy - the Hungry Guy will be cooking up a feast on the Saturday night. Steve is not only an excellent chef but also an extraordinary campaigner with involvement in the Slow Food Movement, the Shrewsbury Food Hub as well as campaigning recently for the beleaguered hospitality industry.
Breakfast and lunch included. We will have freshly baked pastries and nourishing vegetarian lunches
