Hi All We had a great drumming, fluting and archery weekend on 27th - 29th April. The weather was very kind to us and the sun dappled through the new growth on the trees most of the weekend. We have attached some photos..... hope you enjoy. Sorry there are no photos or clips of the fluting and drumming, we got a bit carried away and forgot to get the camera out and switch the video camera on! Not very good at this technology stuff! If you fancy coming to one of our weekend courses, workshops, events or experience a treatment - check out our website Free Spirit
We had three tipi's up and a canvas bell tent, so it all looked rather traditional without any modern nylon. Although a bit nippy the first
night, it was pleasant waking up in the tipee, with the floor covered in rugs and the fire still going, keeping the chill off.Archery was good fun. Out of the 8 or so people doing it - half of them had never done it before and did'nt do badly at all. We only lost a couple of arrows!! Cant say they will make the cast of the next remake of Robin Hood mind you. It is a little addictive though as a couple of would be archers are determined to come back next month and have another go.
The next event is the drum making workshop on the 25th May. (Saturday) Learn to make a
traditional skin drum of your
own. We supply lunch and all materials. You just bring your imagination and concentration. Its very cathartic doing craft work in the open woodland. Contact us on 01707 334303 if you would like to book a place.
