Join Chris and Jan for this month’s guided meditation session, followed by a time together in the PLOT 22 garden.

‘These sessions are free and open to all and each session stands alone. We hope to create a circle where different meditations can be shared. If you would like to lead the meditation or part of the mediation, or bring a poem to share, please let us know beforehand. The Meditation Circle is popular so booking is essential to help us manage spaces’.

If you would like to join the session and are not already on our mailing list, please complete our registration form and we will connect you with Jan & Chris.

Our seasonal celebrations are a way for the whole family to connect with nature at Plot 22. Themed around the solstices, equinoxes and traditional pastoral festivals that fall in between. Next up is Beltane!

Thank you to our current Family Session Sponsors

Embrace the magic of Beltane under the Flower Full Moon with this interactive workshop where you'll be guided through gentle movement and meditation as we explore the themes of this special date. 

Followed by individual tarot readings where you will have the oppurtunity to gain clairty for the season, and whilst you wait create your own Beltane keepsake and explore oracle cards and journal propts at your leisure. 

Led by Lily Henley, yoga teacher and owner of Earth Angel Alchemy

These new seasonal poetry sessions are facilitated by Lynne Christine Ridden an art/eco psychotherapist, poet and trustee of plot 22. She describes her work as simply elemental, creatively supporting ways to find balance and natural rhythm as we move through the cycle of the seasons, the spring, summer, autumn and winter of our lives. Each workshop stands alone however attending each session will allow for a deeper experience of journeying together around the wheel of the year as we share favourite poems related to each season. There will also be quiet time in each session allowing the opportunity for your own poetry to emerge inspired by the natural beauty of Plot 22.
