Wider Horizons 2019
13th September 2019 @ 10:00 am - 15th September 2019 @ 5:00 pm
| £146This year Wider Horizons is being held at Wasing Park in a beautiful glade in ancient woodland surrounded by lakes, rivers and wildlife, just 45 minutes from London. Workshops and gatherings will be held in a giant yurt and a magnificent stretch marquee.
You are welcome to bring your own tents, caravans or campervans (Tents can be bought cheaply). Alternatively, boutique bell tent accommodation is available (Click here for more info). Heated outdoor showers will provide for an authentic woodland experience. Culinary delights will be prepared in an outdoor kitchen by our experienced outdoor chef and the ticket price is inclusive of food for three days. All meals will have vegetarian and vegan options. Evening celebrations will involve music, singing, drumming and dancing around the fire. Bring instruments, drums, percussion and dancing feet.
Programme
The workshops are designed to help you to open parts of yourselves that previously had been closed. Parts that are longing to be opened. They will support you in your development and mark a step on your way to growing and feeling like you are fully autonomous and whole. The contributors include professors, doctors, lecturers, Taoist sages, shamen, artists as well as other practitioners from a variety of healing disciplines. You are able to choose from a diverse programme that includes lucid dreaming, expressive dance, individual and group healing, shared story-writing, martial arts and sacred singing. As well as learning new skills, you will have opportunities to explore questions about who we are and the mysteries of consciousness and our relationship with the physical world. Alternative views of the nature of mind and the universe will be presented for you to experience.
The vision quest combines an inward journey into yourself and an outward journey into nature. It involves finding a space in nature to meditate and receive a vision of what to let go of and what to bring into your life to liberate and empower you in your progress into adulthood..
The rite of passage ritual is being led by students on the Alef Trust Transpersonal Psychology Masters (https://www.aleftrust.org/). It will be a sensory journey in the woods, culminating in a celebration around the fire.
