Milestones 2025 Workshops
In 2025 we ran our Milestones workshop at two different locations:
June 2025: Field to Fork Community Garden, Frome
July 2025: Hengistbury Head, Iron Age roundhouse, Bournemouth,
Tanya and I were delighted to receive some moving feedback:
Our Frome weekend
This was a wonderfully joyful, profound and correcting experience. Simon and Tanya – you are kind, insightful people who really know how to make and hold a secure, magical and fun space. I love my beads and my coloured artwork.
This weekend came at a perfect time for me. It has been a delicious, nourishing space to reflect on the significant milestones in my life and how they brought me to where I am now. It has also helped me to feel more positive about my life choices and also more hopeful and trusting of what the future path will be.
Lovely held but spacious facilitation. Really encouraging & validating. Tanya and Simon were fantastic.
Tanya and Simon were wonderful knowledgeable, supportive and thoughtful in their facilitation of the Milestones course/workshop. I felt seen and supported throughout the 2 days’ experience and encouraged to express myself through words and art/craft.
I feel so inspired to go back to my life, taking thoughts, ideas, practices that I’ve learnt from the course.
Our Hengistbury Head weekend
On our formal questionnaire we rated ‘Excellent’ in all categories.
Helped me be appreciative of what I have and how far I’ve come.
Loved the use of local and authentic materials.
Great experience and well lead. Safe environment to share.
