Discover the spectacle of high tide on Porlock Marsh, coinciding with sunrise, and perhaps even the setting of the moon! All in conjunction. We will walk from Porlock village onto the marsh along the new boardwalk, looking out for curlews, shelducks and oyster catchers, to name but a few of the marshland birds we might see. Taking care not to get cut off by the rising tide we can perhaps get as far as the famous oak tree skeletons before returning to Porlock in time for a cafe breakfast. Bring bino's, wellies essential. Cost £15

Join us on the edge of Exmoor for an evening shamanic drum journey beneath the stars. Guided by the rhythm of the drum, we'll journey inward and outward, reconnecting with the wild intelligence of the land and our own inner landscape. Afterwards we'll gather quietly to integrate, ground, and simply be held by the night.

Come wrapped up warmly with something to sit or lie on, a blanket, and a hot drink if you wish. This is an outdoor event on open moorland after dark, on uneven terrain — please come prepared for all weather and bring suitable footwear, clothing, and a torch. By booking, you take responsibility for your own safety and agree to disclose any relevant medical conditions beforehand. Full refund for cancellations up to 48 hours before; the event will be rescheduled or refunded in full for severe weather or unavailability of key personnel. £15pp.
