The Rising Water Project

  

Downshifting Competition 

 

 

Downshifting means reducing your income or circumstances to a lifestyle that is more fulfilling.

 

Have you downshifted and are you in the UK? By downshifting have you reduced your carbon emissions? Can you write a story or poem about your experience? Or can you write a fictional piece, story or poem about downshifting?

 

The best 3 contributions which, in the judge's opinion, will inspire other people to downshift will receive a free copy of 'The Lilypad List: 7 steps to the simple life' by Marian Van Eyk McCain.

Well-supported Deep Ecology residential weekend led by Gestalt/Eco-therapist Jane Cooke

 

�247 (inclusive) - �227 if booked by 14th October

 

Working in the particular landscape --which is both beautiful and wounded, opening up to all of our senses, recognising the range of senses that we have, and that respond to the wild within and without - inhabiting the borderland - where we experience through intuition, feeling and embodied responses the world that modern life denies. This weekend is a balance of out-door time and experience, time to reflect and process and time to consider the ideas and thinkers behind the work.

 

Cwmbiga Farm offers award-winning, high quality, eco-responsible, accommodation. With warm, comfortable, single room accommodation (some doubles if you want to share- no reduction) and food that is home-cooked, local, seasonal and organic where possible.

 

Wild Wounded & Borderland will be a small group - which means places are limited, you are encouraged to book early.

 Man builds stunning 'hobbit house'

 

hobit home 

 

 

A man has built a hillside home reminiscent of a hobbit house from JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings - on a budget of just �3,000.

 

Designed to be fully sustainable, the home is heated by a wood burner while solar panels on the roof provide power. It also has water supplied by a nearby spring - completing provider-free utilities.
