Thank you so much for all those past and present who have had a hand in getting this to happen. Our little community is amazing!! Our next phase is getting a functioning toilet onsite and upgrade the little lean too into something more functional.

18.01.2022 WOW!! There it is folks!! After what seems like an eternity we have a solar array frame and will shortly have the system installed. Having solar power connected to the centre will mean that in the future all events or venue hire will be so much more sustainable.

13.01.2022 A quick stop in to appreciate the sunset over dry Big Swamp on route out to the farm this evening. The atmosphere a haze with the smoke of many making the most of the mild autumn conditions to burn off, the essential farm work rolls on. As I stand here I reminded of how grateful I am to live in a country that still has so much wildlife and natural areas. The wild birds are moving home to take up their roosts now, ready for the night. All around there's building sence of rain coming. Stay well there extended online family Our community is thinking of you

10.01.2022 We are delighted to announce that She-Oak Steiner Family playgroup will be running out of our centre as of October 2020. This is a wonderful opportunity for families far and wide to access a beautiful space focused on rhythms and the Steiner education.

10.01.2022 A wonderful morning spent adding some natives to our beautiful centre! We had a working bee this morning pruning, gardening out dead plants and replacing with lots of wonderful natives. In time these plants will grow and continue to provide not only a wonderful backdrop to the church but a home for wildlife. Thank you to everyone Barbie Clutterbuck Peter Clutterbuck @jocelynpobke @perrihendricks @bethcarter Chantelle Sugden ... Also Peter has freshened up our beautiful harrier with some wood oil! Thank you See more
