Yoga Flow with Emily Kaye.
8.45-10.00am on Sunday 21st May
Join Emily for a one hour Flow yoga class held outdoors on the grass in the beauty of the garden.
Expect an energising but accessible 60-minute yoga flow. A yoga flow is a style of practice where movement and breath are linked together in a gentle, continuous flow. You’ll move smoothly from one posture to the next, creating a rhythm that feels almost like a moving meditation.
Fireside DrumDance with Mark Bradshaw and Matt Laurie.
10.15-11.30am on Sunday 21st June
Join Matt and Mark as we offer live percussion with mbira and handpan for an hour of drumming and free dance. Join in with the grooves or let the music flow through you as you dance in the beautiful environment at 10 Trees.
Elemental Voice workshop with Reya Caroub.
11.45-1.00am on Sunday 21st June
Join Reya on a journey to reconnect with the web of life through body, heart, and voice.
Together we will slow down, listen deeply, and remember our belonging to the natural world. Through movement and sound, and with the aid of the elements, we’ll explore how our voices can be a bridge between our own inner landscapes and the living earth around us.
Grounding breathwork with Sophie Kirkton.
1.15-2.30pm on Sunday 21st June
Join Sophie for a one-hour breathwork workshop, to practice the conscious, intentional control of breathing patterns to improve physical, mental, and emotional health. This foundational style of breathwork is a great place to start as a beginner.
Ecstatic Dance with Opposable Drums @ Open House.
7.15pm - 8.45pm Sunday 21st June
The freedom of ecstatic dance offers us a way come together to dance, to reflect, to respect the cycle of changes and to bring renewal of ourselves, our cells, our understanding and our ideas.
Join live electronic music duo Opposable Drums for a deep dance journey through ambient electronica, tribal rhythms, percussive techno, melodic jazz and serene soundscapes.
Open Wild Garden.
10am-4pm on Saturday 20th June, FREE
We’re opening the garden gate wide for Open Wild Gardens weekend! Everyone is warmly invited to enjoy the garden in their own way and time. There will be folk tunes and garden herbal teas on offer.
You’re welcome to bring picnics and entertainment, and stay as long as you like whilst the garden is open. Bring your neighbours, friends and family too.
10 Trees is a mix of wild corners, tended beauty, wide open skies and heady vistas. Whether you’re a keen gardener, a local, or you’re just curious about the garden, come and spend time getting closer to nature.
