All income supports Braziers Park’s charitable aims.
The Art of Soul Flight: An Introduction to Shamanism
The Art of Soul Flight is a two-day introduction to shamanism, focusing on the essential practice of shamanic journeying. Guided sessions will explore the basic principles of shamanic work, including journeying into non-ordinary reality, partnering with spirit, and using these practices as a resource for reflection and everyday problem-solving. Across the weekend you will learn to journey for yourself and others, work with drum and rattle, and take part in a power dance. Day two introduces shamanic healing, divination, and a community healing.

This year’s conference focuses on shaping and strengthening our network, exploring the structures, values, and practices that support shared life.

Children’s Clay Club – Tile Painting Workshop
A relaxed, hands-on ceramics session for children aged 7–12+ (KS2). Each child will decorate a pre-made, pre-fired clay tile using ceramic paints, stamps, and simple clay techniques, exploring pattern, colour, and imagery inspired by nature, stories, or their imagination. No previous experience is needed – guidance will be provided, with plenty of freedom for personal creativity. As the tiles are pre-fired and unglazed, children can take their finished artwork home the same day. The workshop lasts around one hour.
Reed Pen & Ink Workshop
Join us for a lively, exploratory ink drawing workshop in the grounds of Braziers Park. We’ll work from photographs or, weather permitting, from life, using bamboo pens (and possibly making our own from twigs) to draw with ink on paper. Through pattern and varied mark-making, we’ll build compositions as a series of small pieces or one larger work. With no pencil underdrawing and a single colour, we’ll work directly and spontaneously – embracing unpredictability as the ink runs out and marks shift. This process supports looser, more confident drawing, where every mark stays.
The Braziers Park Reunion 2026
This gathering is open to all former volunteers and residents of Braziers Park. It offers a warm opportunity to return, reconnect with old friends, and enjoy time together in the beautiful place you once called home. The week will centre on friendly conversation, gentle excursions, and simply being together in a familiar setting. Please note that the Reunion includes a commitment of up to two flexible working hours per day.

Sing Out! With Kirsty Martin
Sing Out! With Kirsty Martin is a joyful, inclusive singing weekend celebrating connection through shared voice.

Songs are taught by ear, focusing on harmony, rhythm, listening, and the pleasure of making sound together. Guided with warmth and humour, the weekend invites participants to sing, connect, and rediscover the joy of voice in community.
Opening to Silence
This weekend of deep meditation and yoga offers space to discover that – quite naturally – you are already whole. Sam Settle and Sandy Chubb will guide periods of silence, allowing time to become intimate with the presence of who you are. As the mind and heart quieten, the ego softens, and something new begins. Asana and pranayama sessions will gently free the body, supporting ease in seated meditation. Set within the beautiful landscape of Braziers Park, the weekend also offers time to enjoy nature by day and beneath the crescent moon and stars by night.
