Take a hot running bath in a tree overlooking the woods, jump into the plunge pool fed by an ancient spring, play with the kittens in the woods, help to plant some trees or just chill out and take in the gorgeous scenery. In the mornings you can join in one of our free Tai Chi, Yoga and Chi Kung classes or unwind in the meditation dome in the woods. Later you can enjoy a healing session from one of the many holistic therapies on offer including acupuncture, massage, healing, reflexology, Indian head-massage, tarot and more to be confirmed [payment by donation with all profits going to the charity World Medicine see www.worldmedicine.org.uk]. There will also be other workshops on offer, including a healing sound circle, guided meditation and of course the legendary Naked Lady’s club!! In the evening entertainment will be at the “Live from Love Tent” acoustic stage. Acts confirmed so far are Kodiac Jack, Andy Flight, Vicky Alkalai, Richard, Nathan Chisholm, and the fantastic African rhythm drum circle. The night will be filled with fire, music, laughter and fresh summer madness…everything we love about life! Love Tent is a free gathering. All the musicians, healers and crew offer their time and services for free. Everyone is invited to come and contribute in some way in this spirit of sharing. Help build the fire, come and perform, offer a workshop. Whatever it is that you do and love, bring it to Love Tent and share it round! Love Tent is a private gathering by invitation only held on private land. It is very important that cars are only parked in the designated field provided. All litter that you create should be bagged and removed from the site and disposed of in a suitable manner when you leave. In other words… leave no trace… A charge of £8 per person per night will be collected by the land owner. £5 for all day trippers. We will also ask for a small donation to cover the running costs of the event. Again, Love Tent is strictly non-profit, and any surplus money will go towards the charity World Medicine. We are looking for therapists, performers and workshop leaders who would like to share their gifts at Love Tent. If you would like to contribute please call Vicky on 07825148997.

Yes, there were kittens in the wood & yes I had a midnight bath with hot spring water up a tree . . . amazing There was a great atmosphere all weekend and the acoustic music round the fire on Sat night was brilliant, including Kodiak Jack who played at Jo & Stoo's b'day ting. Wasn't any dance music system but there really didn't need be any as it was a joy to spend some time outdoors being in touch with nature. The woodland is worked by Jock for his wood scuplture business www.logjam.net and he has created a woodland paradise as a temporary dwelling. There is a natural spring that feeds a 2.5m deep plunge pool, and water supply to a wood fed boiler for the hot bath in a tree, plus he has also installed compost toilet, tree bed pod, willow water purification, chicken run and sheep. It was a real privaledge to be invited to spend some time in what is someones personal space and garden of eden. Big thanks to Olly, Vikki & Dan for their hospitality, Li-li and I were very active all weekend in helping out and yes the FW lounge went down a treat! Nothing better than sitting on a sofa by a huge log fire listening to live music with a great bunch of people. I'm sure there will be one next year and I can strongly advise peeps to pop along and share the love that was all around _________________ and then ??? sillyhippy Has completely lost touch with reality Joined: 07 Mar 2008 Total posts: 1133 Location: in my clothes Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2008 8:03 pm   Post subject:   Re: Love Tent 2008   Sounds amazing realy wonderfull _________________ One must explore deep and belive the incredible to find a new partical of truth floating in an ocean of insignificance,-Joseph Conrad mrsomuch Renegade Master Joined: 14 Nov 2006 Total posts: 2088 Location: The Big Bother Bunker Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2008 10:29 pm   Post subject:    Re: Love Tent 2008   really glad you had a good time Jon, If me and fil hadn't had to go up north to view houses we'd have been there like a shot. sounds idyllic and beautiful! nice work bredren. _________________ Please turn in your PC operator's license and your IP collision insurance and see yourself to the Exit of the Internet.
