CIRCLE OF CONNECTION
A two-day workshop offering creativity, nature connection,
and conversation through wild clay bead making.
Saturday 19th September, 9:30am to 1pm, Sunday 20th September, 10am to 2:30pm
Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH6 4EW
Through creating with wild clay, sourced on site at Hengistbury Head, participants will be invited to deepen their connection with both nature and one another in a welcoming and reflective environment.
CIRCLE OF CONNECTION
Everything is interconnected - Earth is one vast breathing ecosystem where nothing happens in isolation. Wellbeing, identity and sense of meaning emerge through our participation in a wider web of relationships that includes self, community, Earth.
A fundamental, mutual connection between us can be created: marvelling at a spider’s web together, gazing at a tree in full leaf or excitedly watch a kite wheel and circle above us. We connect through a mutual awe and wonder of the natural world.
BELONGING THROUGH BEADS
Bead work is one of the oldest ways to indicate our belonging, it is an external expression of our identity and relationship to others or to place. We may make the necklace ourselves or be given it by others as a sign of belonging. We can be gifted jewellery by others to mark our passage through life.
Over the two sessions, participants will create clay beads that are fired on site and assembled into a unique necklace, incorporating beads made both by themselves and by others in the group as a lasting symbol of connection, community, and shared experience.
Please bring a packed lunch for each day, there is also a cafe nearby.
Testimonials for previous workshops;
‘Great experience + well-led, safe environment to share'
'Loved the use of local and authentic material'
