A Seasonal Series of Ecological Workshops in Suffolk 2025-26
About the Ecological Training Programme
In 2025–6 we are offering four standalone 3-day workshops tracking the seasons, aimed at human relations practitioners seeking to develop their work with clients across all fields of application and theoretical modalities.
The purpose of the programme is to deepen personal and collective ecological conversations, thereby building confidence for working within the ecological domain.
The workshops will follow the general direction of our previous year-long groups, but this time participants will be able to book individual workshops instead of committing to the whole year.
The programme will address the 'Western' question - how might we return to our ecological experience of being in the world, living our biological reality, rooted in the living systems of the earth? In other words, how can we be at home in the wider world of the more-than-human domain? As practitioners we will have the additional question - what does this mean for our work with clients?
Facilitated by: Hayley Marshall and Giles Barrow
Location
We will be based at Mill House, Suffolk, and venture out into other varied terrain (including ancient woodland, coastal and urban spaces). We aim to work exclusively outdoors listening to and incorporating the wisdom of our more-than-human kin.
In each of the four workshops we will
focus on:
- how to listen convivially
- how to open and hold the vital space
- how to help our ‘clients’ work with the ensuing ecological process.
Outdoor Ecological Workshops Format
The format will involve extensive outdoor immersion linked with fireside teachings and discussion.
