SUMMARY:Peace mandala – Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo monastery
DESCRIPTION:Over three days\, Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery make a Peace Mandala\, representing a Buddha’s earthly palace using millions of grains of coloured sand. Watch the intricate design build up from the dedication ceremony. \nThe most intriguing and intricate example of the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism is the construction of the Sand Mandala. Made from millions of grains of coloured sand\, the image grows over a series of days until it can be visualised as the palace of the Buddha who visits our realm to bring wisdom\, compassion and peace. The initial dedication ceremony\, the construction and the final dismantling of the mandala are all part of this exhibition. The monks are highly qualified masters of mandala-making who have studied in the monastery since childhood. The final ceremony for the dismantling of the mandala takes place on Monday morning\, beginning with a blessing\, and concluding with a procession led by the monks to distribute the sand in running water. Return to the hall to collect some of the sand to take away as a memory of the mandala. \nVisits to the mandala and the final ceremony are free of charge with voluntary donations to Tashi Lhunpo Monastery to support the monks in their work. www.tashi-lhunpo.org.uk \nThis event is part of Frome Festival.

SUMMARY:Sacred Spring Pilgrimage Walk
DESCRIPTION:A Pilgrimage to the remnant of the once great Selwood Forest\, source of the headwaters to 5 Rivers. \nA greensand ridge that forms the ancient Forest of Selwood features numerous aquifers that feed the headwaters to no less than 5 rivers\, flowing North\, East\, South and West. \nDrawing on archaeological research\, this will be an exploration of the Great Forest that places it at the heart centre of the Sacred Landscape. \nWe will walk in the footsteps of the ancestors\, and echoing their veneration of Springs and Rivers – a recognition of the sacred power of water\, we’ll perform a short blessing at 2 of these Springs\, before visiting an Iron Age Hillfort and a Bronze Age Barrow. \nWhat is the difference between a Walk and a Pilgrimage? Primarily\, it is about intention: walking the old tracks becomes a spiritual act when walked with intention – by doing so we help to preserve and strengthen those ancient songlines…….the Earth re-awakens to our heartfelt care\, and we are healed in return. \nWhilst led by an experienced Druid Ceremonialist\, this is an inclusive walk\, welcoming of all faiths and none. If you wish to step aside and quietly observe the Blessings rather than take part\, please feel free to do so… \nMin age: 18

Slow Sundays at 42 Acres Retreat are all about connection – with yourself\, with others\, and with nature.\nWild swimming\, a wood-fired sauna\, woodland walks\, and incredible food grown on the land itself – all shared around a long table in the woods\, with birdsong overhead and an eclectic mix of people from all walks of life. It’s a really well-thought-out setup. Simple\, but intentional. The team were welcoming\, knowledgeable (beavers\, storks\, permaculture\, mushroom farms\, soil-to-gut) and clearly passionate about what they’re building. This was their first Slow Sunday- here’s to many more!’\nLynda\, Slow Sunday Guest\, June 2025. \n‘A group of 6 of us attended 42Acres Slow Sunday and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves. The land is beautiful\, with lots of lovely quiet trails to walk and soak it all up. We even spotted storks\, buzzards and believe we may have accidentally bumped into a wild boar too. The setting for lunch is fabulous. Really cosy atmosphere and delicious food. Some of us even jumped in the lake for a quick swim which was really refreshing.’\nLucy\, Slow Sunday Guest\, August 2025 \n‘Beautiful experience of reconnection to people\, place and soul.’\nSara\, Slow Sunday Guest\, August 2025. \nPlease Note:\n– Must be booked in advance.

SUMMARY:Medicinal Mushrooms Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to safely identify & sustainably grow\, harvest & preserve medicinal mushrooms & extract their medicine. Create your own wild mushroom ‘medicine cabinet’ and inoculate your own log to take home & fruit in your garden for years to come. \nDuring this full-day workshop\, you’ll discover native\, wild\, medicinal mushrooms growing at 42 Acres and in the local southwest area. \nFor the first half of the day\, you’ll be heading out on a guided foraging walk; illuminating the incredible world of medicinal fungi that we commonly walk past. You’ll learn the key features needed to safely identify each mushroom and where each is commonly found. \nIn the afternoon you will be creating your own wild mushroom ‘medicine cabinet.’ You will learn how to safely preserve your mushrooms and extract their medicine for use all year round\, in yours and your loved ones lives – for a host of illness and preventative uses. This medicine is often very expensive and our shared vision is to support you to be able to do it yourself safely. Our intention is for you to feel empowered to harvest your own mushroom medicine cabinet and grow your own medicinal mushrooms. \nYou will also learn the ancient technique of mushroom inoculation – a highly sustainable method that mimics nature and produces mushrooms dense in nutrients that are hard to find from other food sources. Take home your own inoculated log – where it will fruit in your garden for years to come. \nWhat to expect: \nLearn about the properties of Turkey Tail\, Shiitake\, Lions Mane and Artist Conk\, most of which are native strains to the UK and cultivated from the wild here at 42 Acres.\nBe guided through the basics of drying and making tinctures.\nLearn the technique of mushroom inoculation – the world’s oldest recorded farming method.\nLearn more about 42 Acres’ wild-tending principles and our pioneering agriwilding projects. \nWhat is included: \nThis workshop includes a tasty lunch from our “Soil to Gut” menu – you will eat food grown on the land you’re walking. Wild teas will be provided throughout the session. \nOur session will open with a guided meditation and a check-in\, in the spirit of our vision to help ourselves attune to living in harmony with nature. We believe that connecting in this way encourages deeper connection and mindful working practices\, for both us and the land. \nThis is a unique and hands-on day ideal for any fungi lover or wild medicine cabinet enthusiast!

Woodlands and hedgerows become a living basket of nutrient-dense ingredients that can aid our immune system\, respiratory system and general wellbeing\, helping us and our loved ones to stay nourished and well. \nIn this workshop\, guided by Tasha Stevens-Vallecillo\, you will walk the land and learn how to safely identify\, harvest\, store\, and process seasonal wild ingredients. \nYou’ll create a mini apothecary of potent folk medicines to take home – a winter gift to yourself and those you love. Learn to make: \nmedicinal berry tonics (both elderberry and rosehip)\nour much-loved medicinal mushroom chai syrup\na potent spruce salve\nLearning these traditional skills is a meaningful way to reconnect with the land and the abundant cycles of nature. As we protect what we love\, getting out into our local wild spaces fosters a deeper relationship between the land and ourselves. \nThrough foraging and medicine-making we learn more about our environment\, meet like-minded people\, and nurture a resilience that serves both people and the planet. \nThis event includes all materials\, warm drinks\, and a 42 Acres lunch from our Soil-To-Gut menu. You will eat food grown on the land you’re walking. \nThis is a truly ‘head\, heart\, and hands’ day exploring plant lore and learning traditional practices and skills.
