Glow September 2025

Thursday 25th - Sunday 28th September

at Fforest Coast

The Autumn equinox, when the day and the night are in full balance, equal length of dark and light. This is time for harvest and thanksgiving, celebrating nature’s abundance, fruits and nuts, berries and seeds before we gently slip into the cooler darker months.

On this September weekend we have set aside a nurturing and inspiring weekend for women to get together to celebrate in the goodness of wild nature, to share skills, ideas, stories, nourishment, laughter, making keepsakes and memories interspersed with deep relaxation, comfort and kinship.

Each morning and afternoon during this special weekend we will be sharing something new for you to be inspired by, we have some very lovely sessions in the planning, some still to be confirmed.

Working with natures bounty as we shift into autumn, the changing foliage, seed heads and flowers. Dutch florist Alice Calcasola van der List will inspire us to make something beautiful. Working with our hands we can get compleatly lost in the meditive process of choosing and collecting, weaving, arranging and making, inducing a great sence of joy and delight. It is also a spiritual one, it's our direct connection to nature, community and our self. A calming healing medicine.

Gemma David from ‘The Quiet Heart’Gemma David a wellbeing practitioner,
specialising in Acupuncture, counselling, movement, meditation, sound, nature
women’s cycles & rhythms specialist, will be leading us through a creative session with our body, a ‘living with the seasons’ session for the equinox. Some gentle movement, followed by a sound bath of singing bowls, after which we should all feel a greater sense of calm and balance.

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 restored, 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.

The goal is to inspire, support and help each other, to have some fun and maybe learn something new. For women to come together to share inspiration, craft skills, knowledge, kinship and supporting each other in a relaxing environment.

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.
