Wider Horizons Winter Warmer 2020 is being held at Chaucer Barn, a luxury Norfolk wedding venue barn conversion in the beautiful Norfolk countryside. The Barn is situated on the edge of the charming village of Gresham, tucked into a valley classified as an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is part of an 80-acre farm, bought by the poet Geoffrey Chaucer for his son in the 14th Century. It has its own stone circle and a five-acre landscaped garden with beautiful views over rolling fields to mature woodland. It is an award-winning barn conversion. Guests are welcome to roam the farm with the 12th Century ruins of Gresham Castle of Paston Letters fame. The accommodation has 9 double bedrooms. There are 7 bathrooms (3 en-suite), 4 reception rooms, a games room and an 18 seater dining table. There are five luxurious log cabins out on the edge of the wood which each sleep four people in two double beds.

The workshops are designed to help you open new parts of yourself.  The contributors include professors, doctors, lecturers, 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, yoga and sacred singing. As well as learning new skills, you will have opportunities to explore questions about who we are, 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 explore and 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 to liberate and empower you. There will be a journey in the woods, culminating in a celebration around the fire.
