​Please note Bodlondeb is a Dry Space: no drugs or alcohol

​Hello, I'm Steph, I'll be holding the space for you here at Bodlondeb. ​Christmas can be a complex time of year, I know it is for me. So I’ve created a space that is reflective of the things I long for:

The gentle hustle and bustle of Christmas without the pressure.  A sense of family and togetherness. Fresh crispy air. Music. Calm. Kindness. Childish wonder. A light touch of creativity and fun. And a whole load of love, tasty food and space to breathe and rest.​​

If the time feels right, you may get a visit from my gang - my lovely husband Iain, Fox (7) and Pip (5). They adore people, stories and playing games (especially Iain!). Please note - hanging out with us is not mandatory! This time together will be whatever you need it to be and I cannot wait to share it with you. Steph x

Day 1, 23rd Dec:  Arrive 3.30pm for a 4.30pm group welcome in the studio.      Silence:  ​Your time here will include short periods of silence as a way to deepen your connections. If you are new to spending time in silence in the company of others, I promise you it’s easier than you think and is utterly beautiful when approached in the spirit of openness and curiosity.​​

      Mornings: Start with an optional sunrise wild swim & walk. Meet in the studio after breakfast for a check-in with each other and yourselves. We'll breathe, stretch, move and reflect.       Afternoons / Evenings: ​Free time to make food, craft, rest, play games and move how you need.  Depending on the weather we may head up to the moors to make s'mores or banana splits on the open fire.      Meal times: You'll make delicious food together.

Day 5, 27th Dec:After a final get together in the studio, you'll gently pack up, tidy up and head home around 11am.
