Hello! There are some wonderful opportunities coming up over the next few months to get together outdoors, connect with nature, with community and with ourselves and work and practice together in service of Life. I hope you will be able to join me!
Qigong, Creativity and the
Three Treasures
Thursday June 8th to Monday June 12th
A 4-day camp for self-development, enjoyment and a deep experience
of Nature offering time for connection to the Earth and love and
respect for all life.
Camp is filling up fast. We can’t wait to see you there. More details below, or drop me a line if you are interested.
“This has been a truly wonderful experience. The inspiration, healing and awakening have been everything I needed and so much more. Thank-you” Chris – Three Treasures Camp 2021
Everyone is welcome
Nicola Ley, Sarah MacDonald and Helen Lawrence are excited to be offering a
programme of Qigong and creativity based on nature. Our practice comes from a variety of traditions and requires no previous experience, only a willingness to explore.
Each day we will explore one of the three treasures: Jing – our physical body;
Qi – our life force; and Shen – our spirit. We will use Qigong forms, meditation,
creativity, nature connection practices and ceremony to enhance the three treasures.
We invite you to play with energy as it presents in nature.
Qigong practice supports our health at all levels and awakens our joy in life.
The cost: £210 for the camping, teaching, workshops and art materials.

The camp is situated in the ancient woodland around May Hill, Forest of Dean. The site
includes hot showers, compost toilets, and a secluded space for camper vans. There is no electricity on site. We have exclusive use of a large barn, with kitchen space including a gas cooker, running water and a wood burning stove with a sofa and chairs.
Bring a tent or a camper van and cooking equipment plus plenty of warm things. Check
the May Hill website for glamping options, some folks have even booked a BnB near-by. http://www.mayhillwoodlands.com
There will be a welcoming vegetable stew on the Thursday night. Otherwise, we are not
providing meals. We suggest people cook in small circles. Bring what nourishes you.
In the evenings, we invite you to sit around the fire. Bring a poem, a song, musical
instrument or a dream to share!

Living Non Violence
Non-violent direct action is back in the news as people across the world struggle to protect Life as the climate crisis unfolds. What does it mean to be non violent? How can we stand in our power without violence? What skills and knowledge do
we need to act now in service of life?
I will be leading an Online workshop (via zoom) exploring these themes, in the context of non violence as spiritual practice and of non violence movements in the modern world. the course is offered through One Spirit Interfaith Foundation https://www.interfaithfoundation.org/
