THE WILD CIRCLE
In the Shadow of the Tree of Life, pinhole photograph,2024
Since 2019 the Wild Circle has been exploring ways of repairing our fragile relationship with the natural world. With a wonderful team of guides and facilitators we have run Solo Retreats in the Wild, explored Forest Bathing deep in the woods and hosted Dream Retreats on the edge of Bodmin Moor.
We have followed the circular rhythms of the seasons through the Wheel of the Year, and felt the joy of working with our hands to make Coracles, Bows, Spoons and much more. It has been an inspiring journey.
In 2025 we are taking time out from running retreats to develop several art projects looking with care and attention at the Ash tree, the Celtic and Norse Tree of Life and a tree that has been at the heart of work here at Sunnybank Farm. The Ash Tree Project is a way of celebrating this wonderful tree and mourn its passing as it slowly disappears from our woods and hedgerows. Some of the art works are in progress, others like the Pinhole series of photographs, ‘In The Shadow of the Tree of Life,’ and ‘Second Skin,’ are available to buy in our online Shop.
In all our work the intention remains the same - to work with head, hand and heart, and let the wild back in.
