Apple Tree – Summer Camp

We are thrilled to share our heartwarming adventure when the whole Apple Tree, embarked on a soulful and wet camping expedition in the tranquil embrace of the Mendips. πŸŒ³πŸ•οΈ

Picture this: a group of free-spirited families gathered under the open sky, their laughter mingling with the crackle of the campfire. Our journey unfolded with joy and wonder, as we immersed ourselves in a delightful concoction of activities, stories, and togetherness.

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Partner Yoga and the Art of Connection with SheenaπŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

As the sun dipped below the horizon on our first day, we gathered in a circle, each holding hands and hearts in unison. Partner yoga became a beautiful tapestry of trust and support, where we leaned on one another, figuratively and literally, to find balance and harmony. The experience reminded us of the strength in collaboration and how every bond in our circle, like branches of an apple tree, played an essential role in holding us together. 🌈🌱

πŸ”₯ Storytelling Rattlebox Theatre πŸ”₯

Dave brough lively stories that found their way into the hearts of all listeners. With humour, wit and energy he entertained everyone present. We discovered that, like the rings of an ancient apple tree, stories carry the wisdom of our past and connect us to the essence of our shared humanity. 🌌🍎

🀝 Consensus-Based Decision Making Workshop 🀝

One of the highlights of our gathering was the consensus-based decision-making workshop. We gathered in a circle once more, acknowledging that like the roots of an apple tree, our collective decisions influenced the strength and growth of our community. With empathy and respect, we listened to each other’s perspectives, fostering an environment where everyone’s voice was heard and valued. πŸ—£οΈπŸŒΏ

πŸ› Culinary Delights: Communal Curry Night and BBQ Extravaganza πŸ—πŸ›

As we embraced the simplicity of camping life, we reveled in delicious meals that brought us all together. Friday night was a feast of flavors with our communal curry night, where we collectively cooked and savored the culinary delights. And on Saturday night, the tantalizing aroma of BBQ filled the air, a reminder that like an apple tree’s bounty, our shared meals nourished both body and soul. πŸ”πŸ₯—

In the midst of the Mendip’s serenity, we were reminded that the Apple Tree is not just a community; it is a sanctuaryβ€”a place where roots intertwine and branches reach for the sky.
