 If you love to create, paint, explore colour and are interested in sustainable crafting of colour  this workshop is for you.

A land based workshop  creating with clay and colours from the land. We work consciously with clay and stones gathered from the land on the farm. 

 Clay and working with the earth are  much more than focusing on a creative outcome or making a product, it is a process of connection to our inner world and our relationship to the land and working the way our ancestors harnessed natural materials for agriculture and spiritual connection.

 Helen will guide you through the process of creating a colour and pots of your own. You will sense deeper connection to harvesting, processing and firing your vessel the ancient way through pit firing.

We will explore the colour of the clay from the land in Bowland and spend the first part of the creative process tuning into what a the land means to you re. We will play with the differnt colours to enhance our day creating pastels, watercolours and  charcoal. You will  have plenty of time to sketch, draw and paint with your made ,materials.

There will be options to go for a walk during your day and visit our ancient woodland. All refreshments and food are provided but please do bring your own snacks.

We welcome you into the increasing light as we move beyond the darkness and begin to bring awareness to our mind and body,

In this workshop, we will practice yoga that both energises and strengthens (solar, Pingala energy), and calms and restores (lunar, Ida energy). We will bring together movement, breath and sound in meditative sequences, and explore the breathing practices of Swara (energy-balancing) Yoga. This is followed after refreshments by the deep restorative relaxation of Helen’s sound bath journey.

The cost for the workshop is £30. Please contact Dina for further information or to book a place ([email protected]; mob 07816545491; www.spaceplaceyoga.co.uk)
