“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
~Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Land-Tending
Join us at land-tending and community days
First Saturday of the month
(date sometimes changes, so it is best to email us)
11am-3pm
Come for as long as you would like
Church Farm Meadow, Bramfield, Suffolk
“I think the young trees carry their own promise of things to come and generations yet to appear who will no doubt find solace there.”
Tessa, community volunteer
This is a great opportunity to meet the community on the meadow, actively give back to nature, restoring natural habitats and equilibrium on the Earth, and is also a fantastic way to respond to eco-anxiety. We move from a sense of paralysis or anger to purposeful action.
Some of the activities include: tree and wildflower-tending, tree planting, scything, raking the grass, wood cutting, taking care of a pond, enjoying lunch, tea and cake together, labyrinth walking, enjoying spotting species on the land.
Everyone is welcome! If you are not able to help in a practical way, you are welcome to pop by and enjoy being on the meadow, rest and regenerate. You are welcome to join us for lunch or quietly walk the labyrinth.
To join us and for directions please email: ecotherapyeast@gmail.com
We have a WhatsApp group which you are welcome to join for updates about land-tending, and other announcements.
