Opportunities to work with me
Currently I am engaged in a number of projects and interested in offering a range of opportunities for those interested in working with me. I tend to avoid delivering one-off training events, preferring to work with groups over a period of time. An important part of my work is deepening the work carried out here at Mill House. Here are some upcoming possibilities:
The Rose and The Wren 7-9th Nov '25
The fourth men’s gathering to be held in November 2025 in Suffolk. As with our previous gatherings we are combining story, myth and poetry with the principles of Courage & Renewal work. Each weekend has involved journeying in both the inner and outer lives we lead. We meet, we eat and we share our tales amongst the company of others leaning into the land.
FlyerBecoming Ecological 2025-26
A year long programme of four 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 Shining Mill Group and will alternate between Mill House, Suffolk, and Shining Cliff Wood, Derbyshire. We aim to work exclusively outdoors in these places incorporating the wisdom of our more-than-human kin.
FlyerTristan and Isolde 24-26th Oct '25
After a couple of years resting somewhere in the mythic world, Tristan & Isolde will be making a return to Mill House, Suffolk for a weekend telling. This is the European romantic epic that sets the scene for the modern notion of love, introduces the psychological dynamic to ancient story and challenges ideas of marriage, ecstatic passion and friendship. Complete with witchery, treachery, insatiable lust and despair, what’s not to like?
FlyerEdFest 1-2nd Aug '25
The intention of Edfest is to create a convivial gathering, offerings for educational discussion, community activities, and ways of brining festers of all ages together. Ed Fest is not a conference: it is a not-for-profit Educational TA festival for educators and their families. Ed Fest is a self-catered event, whether you are camping on the farm or staying in the local area.
FlyerFamily Constellation Workshop 5-6th September 2025
A great opportunity to work with the fantastic Enid Welford!
FlyerSoil, Soul & Society in the Educational Encounter 3rd Nov '25 - 26th Sept '26
This is my flagship programme based at Mill House. It is the only professional development I am offering on a solo basis and is rooted in my PhD focussed on education philosophy, theory and method. Places will be limited and I am now taking expressions of interest.
FlyerSpinning Yarns 2026 13 - 15 March, 8 - 10 May, 17 - 19 July, 23 - 26 Oct
We are delighted to announce a new storytelling programme for 2026. It will be held across four workshops spanning each season and we invite you to jump aboard for the full series to dig deep and have the stories have their way.
