What we can do:
We offer a variety of events, workshops, team building, space to hire and much more.
We specialise in collecting stories which is perfect for evidence based work and interior makeovers from cold, clinical spaces into fabulous cosy places people want to use. We can facilitate uplifting talks, empowerment seminars, cups of tea and vegan cake and bring crazy ideas to fruition. We love foraging, anything creative, dreaming big, letting our inner child out to play, jam sandwiches cut into triangles, psychology, oat milk, empowerment and a right good laugh.
We have a variety of skills and if we can't do it, we know someone who can.
We don't even have a box to think outside of, we have a bohemian tent, full of fairy lights and music ;)

Previous work:
Community cooking day
We had a wonderful day of travelling from and to Blackpool by minibus to the amazing Gathering fields farm, to come together to learn how to cook on a budget, learn about the healing properties of different foods and spices, cook a shared meal, enjoy being in nature and feeding the pet pigs, and escape the town life for a while.
We have been blessed with lottery funding (Bohemia Blackpool cic and the Gathering Fields) so places are free but there is a £5 deposit to secure your place on the mini bus (this will be returned to you on the day when you get on the bus, deposits are not refundable if you don't turn up)
Wrap up with wellies/boots or suitable footwear for muddy terrain and a big coat, hat, scarves etc as it can be cold.
There will be a shared vegan dinner available, but if you have special dietery needs please feel free to bring a packed lunch but do take all rubbish home with you.

Working with young mums
We have been funded by the Big Lottery Fund to do an 8 week course with young (under 25) mums to teach them to cook, all about natural living, sewing, knitting, open up their worlds with vision boards, dreaming, yoga and meditation and have a trip to the farm at The Gathering fields to learn about growing foods and herbs. I am so excited to do this because I was a young mum, I had 3 children under the age of 5 when I was 23 and it was hard work, especially because a year later I was a single parent. Knowing I can help these women in any tiny way fills me with joy. Thank you, thank you thank you.
Working with Streetlife, a homeless centre in Blackpool for under 25's
The Gathering Fields welcomed Streetlife for a number of visits, they did dry stone walling, sheep dog training, experienced a sound bath, swimming in the river, communal cooking, wood carving and other outdoor activities, it was wonderful to get these homeless people out of the town and into the countryside to show them a totally different way of life.
