AWAY FROM IT ALL BUT CLOSE TO EVERYTHING

Welcome to 2025!

We are optimistic that this year will offer peace-full and life-affirming activities at Roselidden; which we hope will counterbalance some of the craziness that is unfolding elsewhere in the world.

It is great to be able continue to offer weekly classes and treatments thanks to our loyal practitioners; Amanda Brown teaches yoga on Tuesdays, Kate Burford offers shiatsu treatments on Wednesdays, Jos offers T’ai Chi on Thursdays and is resuming Zen Brushwork at regular intervals throughout this year. 

There are meditation sessions fortnightly – with the Lizard Chan (Western Chan Fellowship) first and third Monday nights, and Ocean River Sangha (Plum Village) on second and fourth Wednesday evenings.

Camerata Kernow (an a-capella choir led by Nigel Wicken) rehearse every other Friday, with cake!

Jos runs End of the Road Café (death café) on the first Wednesday of each month. These are informal gatherings to share experiences around death and dying in a mutually supportive environment, which she has been running for ten years now. With all that is going on currently, it seems timely to widen the remit of the original death café and for EoRC to also be a space for grieving.  

We host a number of other events throughout the year including gong baths, day retreats, and faith group activities, which are advertised by the participants rather than us.

The grounds here continue to develop and mature; all the trees that we have planted, including the newer ones of 2023, are maturing beautifully now. It is lovely to enjoy the willows, dogwoods and hydrangeas as we arrive at Roselidden.

We hope that when you come here, the calm atmosphere we continue to cultivate and the activities on offer will restore your sense of wellbeing.

With best wishes

Jos and Peter
