Men, you are warmly invited to gather in circle.

This is a safe and steady space to slow down, arrive as you are, and sit alongside other men in a calm and grounded way.

Together we create a space of trust where each man is welcome - to share what feels present, to listen deeply, and to speak from the heart.

Through honesty and connection we are reminded that we do not have to carry life alone.

Come as often as feels right.

A women’s circle — a space where you can be yourself, share what feels important to you at this moment, feel, listen to other women, and see yourself reflected in their eyes. A place where you can feel safe — without judgement, grounded in mutual respect, support, and the warmth of togetherness.

In a fast-paced world, it seems more important than ever to slow down, gather together in real spaces, and build supportive communities. Our longing to be heard, truly listened to, and to feel connected deserves to be nurtured and cared for.

Come as often as suits.

Suggested and optional donation of £5 - £15

Join us for a beautiful, relaxed afternoon where we’ll slow down, connect, and create something special together.

Candle making is a gentle, mindful process. It invites us to be patient, to slow down, and to move with care. As the wax melts and settles, we allow ourselves to do the same — softening, pausing, and simply being present in the moment.

We’ll enjoy the delicate scent of natural beeswax, pour warm wax into moulds, choose our wicks, sip tea, chat, laugh… and take our time. No rush. No pressure. Just a cosy, creative space to unwind and make something beautiful with your own hands.

You’ll take home the candles you create.

If this feels like the kind of afternoon you’d enjoy, I would love for you to join us.

We will be working in small group. 

Secure your spot with a £20 pre-booking
Then pay £25 at the door
Total entry: £45

Book in advance to secure your place: https://www.ticketsource.com/rudolf-steiner-house/t-zooqzqg

If Sculpture is waiting to be released into the movement art of Eurythmy, what is Architecture longing to become? In characterising the Mission of the Arts, Rudolf Steiner described the transformation of the plastic-spatial arts, but left the "social art" enigmatically unidentified. This is directly connected to the courage we are enjoined to have in taking responsibility for the uncertain future. How can we transform the ‘architecture’ of the social, economic, pedagogical, professional, and other structures that manifestly no longer serve our becoming human? Come and join us in this Festival to explore what Michael, the Spirit of our Time, is waiting for from us!
