Extended visits and permaculture consultation/advice

If you would like to extend a site visit and tour for a morning of afternoon (3 hour) session, please contact me. I can offer practical advice and design ideas or can you combine a site tour with Emergence Nature Sensing taster experience if that interests you too (see below). 

For advice, please bring photos and plans. Virtual visits to your property are also available with video-call sessions. Please note - I no longer offer a design service, just advice.

Emergence: Nature Sensing Workshops

Dates and time to suit by arrangement (midweek only)

Half days (3 hours)

Full days (10am - 4pm)

These sessions are designed to place you back into a simple, deepening relationship with Nature and that part of Nature we carry around with us constantly, our body. Deepening a feeling sensitivity to plants, trees and wildlife develops our ability to be be aware of any emotional energy held there too. Opening to this embodied listening closes the sense of separation from Nature we often feel when focused on our thinking mind. The body can offer direct and visceral experience of a spacious freedom and natural clarity, which I loosely term an ‘emergence' as it feels like uncovering  our real, authentic natural self. Everyone has this innate ability, we just need help recognising we are always part of Nature and can choose to access the wisdom and wonder it freely offers.

Please bring packed lunch if coming for a full day. Refreshments - teas/coffee/homemade herb teas provided.

Suggested £30 for half day, £60 for full day, or contact me on booking for pay-as-you-can if this is difficult

Emergence: Private Sessions 

All year by appointment 

Usually following on a from an Emergence Nature Sensing session, but not necessarily, personal one to ones are designed to work with you on anything arising in response to a developing inner awareness. Gentle guidance back into the inner felt sense often enables people to truly allow and find compassionate understanding for things that have previously felt like blocks or barriers. These sessions may involve further plant sensing or may concentrate on the inner experience only, depending on the need. The Roundhouse offers a safe, warm retreat into yourself .

Personal 'Emergence' sessions can be booked all year and can be tailored to suit your particular interests or requirements, lasting as long as you feel appropriate. These could be a one off or repeating sessions over a few weeks or occasional throughout the year, the flexibility for you to decide what suits is there. Long distance Skype sessions are also available and work surprisingly well.

These are run on a donation basis (entirely depending on your own circumstances and appreciation) with a view to being able to offer free sessions for those who cannot afford to donate anything. 

Available midweek mornings or afternoons. Please ring or email to discuss if these might be more suited for your needs. 

All workshops run by Alison Ensor at Foxfield LAND Centre, Gretton Fields, Glos. GL54 5HH which is accredited through the Permaculture Association UK.
