SUMMARY:Nurture the land - Autumn

In keeping with the tradition of the Highlands and Islands\, we grow produce on a system of lazy beds – long ridges divided by drainage ditches.   \nThese beds are improved and enriched by using the seaweed from the bay on our doorstep. Join us for the start of the growing season when we will be getting these beds up and running\, sowing seeds for the year ahead. In addition\, we have two polytunnels we hope to fill with colour and life for the months to come. Alongside sowing and growing\, there will be plenty of hands-on tasks around the garden: fixing up beds\, borders and compost-bins\, and being creative with willow cut from the garden.   \nNo gardening experience is necessary\, this will be the chance to learn\, share ideas and leave your mark at Camas. If you enjoy getting your hands dirty\, evenings by the fireside\, simple community living\, all in the breathtaking Ross of Mull\, then Nurture the Land Week is for you. \nThis week is led by Camas Staff.  \nA week at Camas includes:\nNature Connection: Immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Isle of Mull by walking down the track to Camas and waking up right on the shore of beautiful Camas bay each morning. \nAdventure Activities: Dive into exhilarating outdoor activities including kayaking\, abseiling\, coasteering\, wild camping and hiking. \nFireside Gatherings: Evenings filled with storytelling\, games\, music\, and laughter\, fostering bonds and creating lasting memories. \nStargazing: Lose yourself in the beauty of the night sky on the Camas lawn\, offering a chance for reflection and perspective. \nBuilding relationships: Share insights and ideas\, participate in activities and share in community life at Camas as we cook\, clean and work together. \nCost and how to book?\nThis week is offered at the discounted rate of £210 or £105 concession. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”BOOK HERE” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fportal.freetobook.com%2Freservations%3Fw_id%3D44378%26w_tkn%3D1xcVKLXsIdJpjgijWqZqWw4SvaN42c8vGHCckW1hUwdvFHEbzpf3JfHrjBYc3%26checkIn%3D2024-03-25%26stayLength%3D5″ el_class=”tealbtn generalbtn leftbtn”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Environment Week
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nComing back to our senses\nJoin Kathy Galloway and the Camas team to explore what it means to ‘Come Back to Our Senses’ in relationship with our environment and our approach to the climate crisis. Exploring through creativity\, nature connection and reflection\, this week will offer a deep dive into environmental activism\, from the personal and sensory to the communal.   \n“The failure to acknowledge our creatureliness has been a big problem for human beings – and an ever bigger one for the other life forms we share the earth with. Our tendency to assume that the universe is at our disposal has made us careless to the point of extreme culpability. What does it really mean for us to be creatures\, and to take care? Perhaps to answer this\, we need to come back to our senses.” Kathy Galloway  \nThis week at Camas\, we begin where we are\, exploring themes of community\, creativity and celebration. Kathy and the team will be guiding you through practices to re-establish sensory connection and awareness of the natural environment. We will also be working together to identify and explore a more sense-based approach to environmental action and sustainability.  \nA week at Camas includes:\nNature Connection: Immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Isle of Mull by walking down the track to Camas and waking up right on the shore of beautiful Camas bay each morning. \nAdventure Activities: Dive into exhilarating outdoor activities including kayaking\, abseiling\, coasteering\, wild camping and hiking. \nFireside Gatherings: Evenings filled with storytelling\, games\, music\, and laughter\, fostering bonds and creating lasting memories. \nStargazing: Lose yourself in the beauty of the night sky on the Camas lawn\, offering a chance for reflection and perspective. \nBuilding relationships: Share insights and ideas\, participate in activities and share in community life at Camas as we cook\, clean and work together. \nCost and how to book?\n£310 full price\, £155 concession [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”BOOK HERE” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fportal.freetobook.com%2Freservations%3Fw_id%3D44378%26w_tkn%3D1xcVKLXsIdJpjgijWqZqWw4SvaN42c8vGHCckW1hUwdvFHEbzpf3JfHrjBYc3%26checkIn%3D2024-08-19%26stayLength%3D5″ el_class=”tealbtn generalbtn leftbtn”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
