| Finally comes the time of withdrawal, the hidden time. It is as though the world sleeps under a grey cloak. Everything is still and silent. Life has moved to the centre, to its hidden darkness. Bulbs rest, roots sleep, trees go dormant. Stillness settles over the world. Patricia Monaghan As we fully surrender to the dark months, allow yourselves to rest. This is a time for introspection, reflection, quiet and rest. Give yourself this time and nourishment, just like all of nature around you, to restore and conserve your energy, ready for the new year when then sun returns. Take notice when your body tells you its tired and you’re struggling to manage the same load. At this time of year, we are not designed to do as much. Rest, cosy, warm and snail, for this is our greatest hibernation reset. |

Exhibitor applications are now open so get in touch and fill in your application if you’re interested in exhibiting.
We are also looking for musicians to perform – get in touch if you would like to play.
