The Clophill Centre, Bedfordshire, UK
Do you long to create, connect and belong?
Experience the genuine community your heart longs for, join a diverse mix of people of different ages, backgrounds, challenges and gifts to immerse yourself in vibrant connection with nature, yourself and each other. Let your body remember its natural rhythm, experience other humans enthusiastic to catch your stories and embrace your gifts, all facilitated by capable and caring mentors. Feel the beauty when you are welcomed and encouraged to show up with courage and authenticity and get to witness others doing the same
The Nature Culture Connection Camp is powered by a universal cultural map distilled from Indigenous knowledge around the world – creating a cultural container that connects, opens and empowers us all as we start to feel the regenerative village supporting us once more.
We are passionate about welcoming and including the beautiful diversity of human experience.
Imagine sitting down in the sun in a field, deep in a shared craft project, feeling a bright and hearty connection to your companions and to your nimble fingers, whilst also noticing how the birds are flying above you
You can hear children excitedly exploring in the woods, learning about all of life as they go…
You know that there is another group of people near you tending to the fires and chopping firewood, you can hear other people learning a beautiful harmony song, and you haven’t seen your friend for hours since they went off to track deer this morning…
The Nature Culture Connection Camp is based on the work of Jon Young and the 8 Shields Model, and is inspired by previous Art of Mentoring camps.
This new camp is based on previous Art of Mentoring camps, and gives more space for people to develop specific skills, and to be more embodied as part of the village.
Have you felt the magic of creative, connective community…
