SUMMARY:Shifting Perceptions
DESCRIPTION:A Restorative Day Retreat with 100 Reflections on Life as it Is\n  \nYou don’t need a new life to feel different.\n  \nYou need a new way of seeing the life you already have.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join us for a gentle\, transformative day inspired by Simon Gudgeon’s beautiful new book\, 100 Reflections on Life as it Is. Through short\, powerful reflections on perspective\, peace\, and everyday life\, we’ll explore a simple but profound truth: when we change how we see things\, our experience of life changes — without the need to fix or overhaul ourselves. \nThis is not a workshop about becoming someone new. It’s an invitation to notice the lens you’re already looking through… and to gently soften or shift it. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What the Day Offers\n  \nMorning: Awakening Through Perspective\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				We begin with a warm welcome and grounding\, then move into guided exploration of carefully chosen reflections from the book. You’ll be supported to notice your current ways of seeing\, journal gently\, and share in small groups if you wish. \nA short\, accessible breathwork session helps create inner spaciousness\, followed by mindful movement and a beautiful group humming practice — a vibrational way of moving beyond individual perception into shared resonance. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Lunch\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				A nourishing\, mindful break with time to rest\, reflect\, or simply be. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Afternoon: Deep Rest & Integration\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				We sink into restorative Yoga Nidra — a guided practice of non-sleep deep rest that allows the morning’s insights to settle into the body and nervous system. This is followed by a deeply soothing sound bath\, where vibrational sound supports release and integration at a profound level. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Who This Retreat Is For?\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This day is ideal if you: \n– Feel ready for a softer\, more compassionate relationship with your mind \n– Want to explore how small shifts in perspective can change how life feels \n– Are drawn to the wisdom in 100 Reflections on Life as it Is \n– Would love a restorative day that combines gentle reflection with deep rest (Yoga Nidra + sound bath) \n– Appreciate a non-striving\, spacious atmosphere \nNo prior experience with meditation\, breathwork\, or the book is needed — just an open heart and a willingness to see differently. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Setting\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Held in the tranquil surroundings of Sculpture by the Lakes\, the day is designed to feel like a sanctuary — spacious\, nurturing\, and beautifully held. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Practical Details\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Saturday 25th July \n9.30am – 4.30pm \n£175 \nLimited spaces participants for an intimate experience \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				“Most of what shapes our experience of life is not what happens… but how we see it.” \n— from the introduction to 100 Reflections on Life as it Is\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				If you’re ready to return to the life you already have — and see it with fresh eyes — we would love to welcome you. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Book here

SUMMARY:Summer Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop with John Cunningham
DESCRIPTION:Summer pruning of fruit trees is as important as winter pruning. Summer is the time to clear out non-fruiting wood from apple and pear trees\, but also to look at pruning stone fruit trees like cherries and plums. \nIn this one day workshop we will go through all the different aspects of summer fruit tree care\, from the correct tools to use and how to look after them\, right through to the cuts themselves\, with practical work on the trees that grow in the Kitchen Garden at Sculpture by the Lakes. \nOur tutor for this workshop is John Cunningham. \nTrained at The Royal Botanical Gardens\, Edinburgh\, and a qualified designer\, John specialises in pruning and garden development for private clients. He has planted over 60 Royal Horticultural Society and International Show gardens over the past 30 years and has judged for the RHS since 2013. He shares his knowledge with humour and passion. \nYou can bring your own secateurs if you would like but please ensure they are sharp and are clean and disinfected before you arrive. You will need to bring your own lunch\, or you can book a table with The Kitchen on kitchen@sculpturebythelakes.co.uk \nArrival is from 10am and the course starts at 10.30am. We break for lunch at 12pm and resume at 1pm finishing at 4pm. \n  \nReserve your place here:\n  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Book Here
