The Venue

Our base is a lovingly restored Barn using natural materials and although ancient, the barn has a modern feel of space and beauty. It nestles in the Nanmor valley, surrounded by ancient woodland, with views of Moel Ddu. It’s a safe and restful retreat base to be immersed in nature while preparing for your Vision Quest

Included - is a well-equipped kitchen/dinning and a camp kitchen

Several bedrooms to share, Plus land for camping.

Underfloor heating.

Two bathrooms.

​

We move out to a base camp in the mountains for your solo time on the forth day, then return to this lovely place for the final two days.

 

The group will live as a small community, therefore you are asked to be responsible for yourselves. You provide your own food and cook for yourselves.  (Closer to the start date we send the address list for you to plan meals together, or alone.)

 

There is a very good local shop in the village a couple of miles away
Porthmadog is the closest small town with a wider range of shops include a good health food store, camping shops and a large supermarket with some organic food.

 

Cost - Sliding scale between - meaning a couple of scholarship places at the lesser fee - £1150 to £895  (non refundable & non-transferrable deposit of £250, unless the vision quest is cancelled) This includes all accommodation and camping (in your own tent) and the welcome meal.
