Wild Craft and Creativity Camp
1st - 6th June 2012
The camp will run over five days. It will again be a gently exuberant camp, which combines the vitality of live music and dance with relaxation, green living skills, friendship, fun and play. It is set in a beautiful sheltered river meadow in North Yorkshire.
At the heart of our work in putting on these camps is the hope that through living in a beautiful, natural environment for a few days, in structures that support our wellbeing and need for nurturance, we experience a life lived more slowly, creatively and authentically. In amongst the singing, dancing, drumming, green living, wild craft and artistry we also want to offer spaces to explore our deeper concerns and to find ways to build sustainable culture.
Please take note that the camp is for a full five days and that we ask that folks come for the whole period.
For more information about Gaia Tribe 2012 please revisit our site in the coming weeks as the programe becomes established.
