Participants will arrive on Saturday 8th August in the afternoon and the school will open with dinner and a welcome evening session. Courses for everyone will run from Sunday to Wednesday morning, and departure will be after lunch.

The Summer School welcomes anyone who wants to spend a few days in a creative, busy, welcoming atmosphere guided by spiritual principles of friendship, thoughtfulness and kindness. Where curiosity and questions are welcome. Expect to be surprised and inspired by the experience.

The programme will provide for all ages from babies upwards, inspirational devotionals, informative plenaries, afternoon workshops, sports and swimming, good food and varied evening sessions for everyone, including a late evening poetry, stories and music session to finish off each day.
