Winter is coming – and we need to prepare for it. Would you like to help as a volunteer?
The Winter Wood week will be a week spent gathering winter fuel. There’ll be sessions in the wood yard splitting logs for the boiler or chopping hard wood for the wood-fired stoves, such as the one in the Mead Hall. You will also go out on the estate helping gather wind-blown wood.
In addition to healthy, outdoor activity there will be opportunities for study, informal conversation and, of course, you will enjoy fine meals. We will also be happy to accept help in the kitchen and house during the week.
There is a recommended donation of £10/6 per day or £70/£42 per week, which helps towards the basic cost of your stay – accommodation, instruction in new skills, food, tea and coffee, laundry, etc. Additional funding comes from our Volunteer Fund.
Email secretary@chisholme.org to find out more and to book your place.

Beshara Trust Foundation Blended Learning Course
16th October 2026 – 18 March 2027
We take great pleasure in presenting the latest iteration following two very successful previous versions. The course comprises fortnightly Zoom sessions, videos by experienced presenters and various tasks and practices. It opens with a residential weekend at Sutton Courtenay Abbey in Oxfordshire UK, which can also be attended online. There is an optional residential weekend or 10 days at Chisholme House, Scotland, at the end of the course from the 1st April.
The course provides a full introduction to the principles of Beshara in terms of both knowledge and practice. Taking the metaphysics of Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi as a starting point, the course explores what it means to understand oneself and the world in the light of the Unity of Existence.
