Village Trial Day - Jan/Feb 2025 6 dates

Welcome to Rising Rooted Village! And happy new year! 🥰❤🙏🔥

We have altered our sessions slightly for January and February 2025 for the darker, colder days we are having. We will be having shorter sessions in the woods, meeting from 10:30am until 2pm if the weather permits! We will decide on the Sunday night before if the session will be going ahead. If you have booked and paid for a session that gets cancelled, we will roll over your ticket to another date of your choosing. Because of this, we aren't offering memberships right now, instead all sessions will be offered on a Pay-As-You-Go, Pay-What-You-Can basis and regular memberships, and regular length sessions (10am-3pm) will return in March.

Our days together are in our stunning woodland garden where we are providing the heart-centred, value-led activities for the whole family that aim to connect us deeper to ourselves, each other and to nature.  We'll have some nourishing whole-family activities on offer each session and our daily rhythm for these Jan and Feb sessions will be loosely as follows:  

10:30am - arrival and set up, chatting with teas and coffee, building the fire to gather round!

11am - We will open the village with an intentional welcome circle, drawing in the power of Mother Earth and sending out our love and gratitude as lead by our gorgeous “Grandmother Nature” and Chief Elder, Kim.

The morning session (roughly 11:30-12am, so much shorter than our full-day offering) contains our adult-only workshop held in the yurt: a session which is completely unique to Rising Rooted Village in that you will be nourished and restored (whether through meditation, breathwork, circling, etc) while knowing that your children are close by in the garden with other value-aligned parents! (as well as trained facilitators). While the Yurt Yums takes place, the rest of the village and all the children will be enjoying our seasonally-aligned, nature-inspired, fun activity that is suitable for 6 month olds and 60 year olds!
 We may take a view on whether we do an altogether activity instead of offering a Yurt Yum, it may depend on numbers, or if its particularly chilly we may opt for a walk in the woods to keep warm and moving! We'll be taking it day by day so our exact rhythm will be very flexible

We all come back together at around 12pm  for a shared lunch. We now enjoy a healthy and wholesome “Pot Luck" feast together at lunch, some of which we cook or heat on the open fire, which is a delicious and beautiful ritual we have together. Please feel able to join in and bring a dish (we do have some members with dietary requirements so if you're willing and able, all sharing dishes must be gluten and dairy free), or bring your own packed lunch for this trial day if that feels more doable. 

Our afternoon sessions are less structured with loads of time for free play and high-quality being together. This is when our parents have engaged in deep conversations and meaningful topics while we've seen our children really lean in to the opportunity to create their own magic! We've had spontaneous yurt dance parties, mud kitchens and tinkering and full-body painting!! 😄

We'll close at the end of each day together with another intentional circle in which to share learnings or creations from the day and our deep love and gratitude for each other 🙏❤
As above, the exact time at which we close for the day may vary during these Winter sessions. If the weather is mild and we're having fun, we may linger longer together, and if it's a bit nippier out you bet we'll wrap up our session a bit more swiftly!

These Tuesday sessions are woven together as part of a larger 'curriculum' that flows in line with nature and her seasons as well as the direction that we are called to guide the Village in. Please use this page to book and join in for one session to come and see if we are for you. After your trial day, we invite you to join us for the rest of the term to get the full experience of Village for your family.  Each season ends with a Village Council for members to gather and discuss feedback and ideas for the village as well as a Family Celebration day! All with the focus on building our strength as a community through which each adult and child can feel a deep sense of joy and belonging to something great.

Please book on to one of these sessions if you are new to the Village and would like to try a slice of village life before becoming a member!  We are really looking forward to getting to know you and your family ☀❤
