Volunteers are invited to help prepare the Yurt Village for the Foundations of Natural Intelligence (FNI) courses scheduled this summer.
There will be plenty to do – the yurts to be erected and furnished, and the woodland kitchen and the other facilities made ready for the first FNI course which begins on 27 June. And you are welcome to join the daily meditation and one or two group study sessions if you wish.

We suggest a small contribution towards the cost of your stay of £15 per day or £10 for students and unwaged.
