About this Event
Roots of the Heart: A Community of Practice Gathering
Friday 7th – Sunday 9th August | Ham Green, near Bristol
Hosted by Natural Academy
We are delighted to invite you to our third Roots of the Heart Gathering, held at our beautiful Ham Green space, open to all students from across our full range of courses.
This three-day gathering begins Friday at noon and runs through to Sunday at 3pm.
Why "Roots of the Heart"?
This theme calls us into the deep truth that our way back to connection—with our Natural Self, with each other, and with what we long to offer the world—must be grounded in community, nature, and a return to wholeness.
Together we’ll explore this through shared time on the land, conversations, creativity, celebration, and emergence—welcoming what flows when we truly root ourselves.
What to Expect
- Community time on the land
- Workshops and talks across the Three Realms of Practice
- Morning practices and movement
- Expressive fire circles, music, and celebration
- A membrane structure guiding us across the weekend, with room for emergence and flow
- Time in the beautiful Skyview landscape, our Dwell Room in Ham Green House, and the wild and peaceful gardens of the centre
