Midsummer, the sun is at it highest, the days so long and full of light, everything seems full of energy, blooming full of colour and life, it seems as if anything is possible. There is something very special about this time of year.

This June we have an inspiring and nurturing weekend for women to get together in the goodness of wild nature, to share skills, ideas, stories, nourishment, joy and laughter, interspersed with deep relaxation, comfort and kinship to celebrate midsummer.

We have some very lovely sessions planned to busy our hands and calm our minds, leaving plenty of time for walks and swims.

Our good fforest friend and very talented Ceramicist, Amanda Banham, will teach us how to make something with clay. We can guarantee spending a morning shapinng and making with clay will be a lot of fun. Amanda has a generous character and is full of adventures and telling stories about them.

Gemma David is infused with warmth and is a regular calming force with us at Glow. Gemma invites us to move and breathe this weekend and to find our inner quite and calm. Trained in acupuncture, counselling, movement, meditation, she is women’s cycles & rhythms specialist. Through a lovely session with our body she will guide us through gentle movement for the midsummer, followed by a relaxinng sound bath of singing bowls, after which we should all feel a greater sense of calm and balance.

We have 2 other workshops planned and which are still in the planning, still to be confirmed.

We have many comfortable spaces for creativity or to simply relax into a chair, listen to the birds and read a book. There is no end product, the goal is to leave glowing and refreshed.

This intimate gathering will be at our smaller coastal camp a short walk to beautiful Penbryn beach, the sea and a stunning coastline, with plenty of time between workshops for exploring, swimming. and daydreaming.

Come alone or with a friend to enjoy the company and comfort of being a part of this small gathering in peaceful surroundings with tasty and nourishing food.

If you have a talent or passion, be it creative writing, reading or making or anything, there are plenty of quiet and comfortable spaces to escape and relax to during the weekend. 

This weekend is for women to come together to relax, share inspiration, craft skills, knowledge and support each other in a comfortable environment. Everything is optional, there is no end goal but to do what is right for you to leave glowing, energised and refreshed and maybe learn something new.

What you’ll be eating

We take pride in our food. We grow many of our own salads and greens. We are blessed with fantastic local produce on our doorstep. That makes it easy to keep it simple, seasonal, local and delicious. Everything is freshly prepared and will be mostly vegetarian. We will be making hearty soups with local breads for lunch and cooking comforting suppers from seasonal produce.

The stay includes 3 nourishing DIY breakfasts of granola, eggs, toast and jams, 2 light lunches and 3 hearty suppers. Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements or allergies when booking so that we can take these into consideration when planning the menus.

 What to Bring

Warm and waterproof clothes and boots as we will be outside enjoying mother nature a lot of the time. Warm snuggly woollies to wrap and cosy up in. A swimming costume if you want to brave a dip in the sea or jump in the sauna.

Please bring a creative project you are working on or some basic materials to get you started, whether it be your knitting or sewing kit, a sketchbook or a camera.    This is your time. You decide.

Remember to pack a bottle of wine or two if you would like to relax on the sofa with a drink in the evening or have a glass with dinner.

Coast Sunset Dome - NEW

Our Sunset Dome at fforest coast with all the features of the Caost Dome you love, but with a bespoke fforest design and all the luxurious touches to make your stay even more special.
The dome itself has an en-suite toilet, but outside is where the magic happens! An indoor ‘shac’ kitchen & dining space with fridge, stove, sink and all the essentials you should need.
There's also an outdoor (but fully private!) shower room with a stable door, and for the ultimate relaxation, a sunken outdoor tub

Our original coast dome, tucked into it’s own corner in the bottom field. Solid wood floors, wood-burning stove, bespoke furnishings and views from a giant bay window.
A cosy king size bed with feather soft bedding.
The short walk to your private shower/toilet is more than made up for by the feeling of privacy and tranquility you experience in your own little corner of our camp.
