Welcome to Rising Rooted Village! And happy new year! 🥰❤🙏🔥
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. These Jan and Feb sessions are shorter than previous sessions due to the colder, darker winter days. Because of this, we won't be offering our ‘Yurt Yums’ (the adult-only, gorgeously nourishing workshop like meditation or breathwork in our yurt), instead we'll stay altogether in the woodland garden so that we can get to know each other on a truly meaningful level, so that when our longer sessions return in March, we will have the strength of relationships to support us and our children when we divide into teams and take it in turns for our Yurt Yums. This is something that we did as a collective last year and it began to work beautifully, so now that we are opening our doors for new families to join us, I am excited to watch our relationships blossom so that we can truly nourish and uplift each other in the coming weeks.
So 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.
11:20-12:30 - The morning session will be activities for the whole family with the goal of getting to know each other really well. Games and crafts, and even walks or mini adventures if we need to stay warmer by keeping moving.
We all come back together at around 12:30pm 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.
Lunchtime often sees us continuing the games or deep topics of conversations that we were invited into during our morning sessions, which rolls into tea and afternoon snacks round the fire..
1:45pm - 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 🙏❤
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. As I mentioned, we have altered our sessions slightly for January and February 2025 for the darker, colder days we are having. 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! We will continue to meet in the woods unless the weather is forecasted to be particularly harsh, 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) with our ‘Yurt Yums’ will return in March.
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 season (ie until the end of Feb) 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 ☀❤
