| Tig-Le House Newsletter 24th September 2021 Hi friends of Tig-Le. You may like to grab a cuppa before reading on…it’s a long, though good one! Looking ahead to 4th term 12th October – 12th December 2021, and beyond. Tig-Le is happy to be offering its first step-by-step 8-week mindfulness training program this October.

It integrates both traditional teachings and modern mindfulness approaches. Our first dedicated Permaculture retreat emerging out of teaching on the Permaculture Design Certificate courses at Fair Harvest. Students love ‘Zone 00’ and ‘Walking the land’ units and so we have put these together into a weekend retreat. Other happenings include a community celebration of our 9th anniversary with a Wongkur (Sacred theatre) ceremony and shared dinner, compassion workshops series, mindful walking, longer retreats on mindfulness and nature, and a dedicated silent meditation retreat later next year.
