About this event

Join us for an afternoon of ritual and ceremony in the Barefoot Orchard. We’ll be creating a relaxed space for us to make our own herb tea parcels and explore our equinox intentions.

Isabel George (EnviroWomenUK founder) will share her practice in the use of herbs to support us through this transition; and Mita Solanky (Fruit Routes artist) will hold the space for us as we pass through Spring Equinox with our Tree elders.

The Barefoot Orchard is located next to the Paddock and (almost) opposite Pilkington library. Look for the Fruit Routes information board near the Geography Weather Station.

This event is free and all are welcome (students, staff and the local community). We recommend booking in advance to help us manage numbers and keep you informed should we need to make any changes to the event due to the weather. We will be outdoors so please dress for the weather!
