Welcome to the Living Spirit Workshop and Retreats Programme for Spring and Summer 2010.


We are delighted to have some wonderful visiting tutors offering weekend and one day workshops at Bonehill House on Dartmoor, Devon. We have a feast of fascinating courses for body and soul… from delicious natural soap making… through the creative delights of poetry, myth and storytelling… to the arts of stillness and spirituality.

The Living Spirit home team will also be facilitating two seasonal one day group retreats to enable fellow spiritual seekers of any faith or none to begin or deepen their exploration of meditation and reflective living.

If you are travelling from afar, accommodation is available at Bonehill or we have suggestions for friendly, good quality, local B&B's on our links page. Some course leaders offer concessions for those on low incomes, for more details or to make a booking please contact us or the course tutor.
