Springhead Trust

In 1998 I attended Springhead Trust for the first time as part of a Neal's Yard Natural Medicine Foundation Course. On arriving I was struck by how special the energy was, this magical place where 7 springs well up from the ground and babble and gush all around, under and next to the buildings at Springhead. I made a decision that this was a place that lends itself to a Mind, Body, Spirit weekend. At the time I was a single parent, studying for a Masters Degree, on the Natural Medicine course, practice teaching a student social worker and dealing with a horrendous manager at work.... needless to say my priorities were not organsing the weekend at that time.

The trust offers basic dormitory accommodation with showers for up to 40 people, our retreat limits numbers to 21 so that there is plenty of room for everyone!

The trust was home to the original herb garden for Neal's Yard Remedies for many years and still has a strong commitment to community and sustainable living - this is one of the many reasons we have chosen this venue.

So here we are, Nat and I both keen to work with women who want to shift stuff around, shake up or settle down their lives and aiming to attract people who might not think about doing 'something like this' usually. To open hearts and minds to new or old experiences that may have got buried over a lifetime of human doing!
