Buddhafield welcomes you to the Green Earth Awakening Camp

Engage Now, Change the Future: 16–20 July 2014

This unique event is a wonderful opportunity to come together on a Buddhafield camp for up to 500 people, at our old Buddhafield Festival site on the glorious Blackdown Hills. We will have the chance to connect with the land, to re-learn forgotten skills and to explore pathways towards a sustainable future. A child and a woman weaving willowThe Camp will feature a workshop programme of green crafts, offering the chance to make something beautiful with our own hands and learn new but traditional skills; social change workshops and ecology talks, helping us to face difficult truths about ourselves and the world; Meditation, Rituals and Dharma talks giving us the spiritual context in which to explore those truths and help us grow and change together. We all can become what the world needs now — alive, aware, in touch with the earth, connected.
