SPRING GATHERING 2025

SALISBURY UK

With 

JUDY BRUCE

An exploration of how the headless way can contribute to responding to the climate change crisis

April 17th [evening] until April 21st [midday] 2025

At Sarum College, 19 The Close, Salisbury SP1 2EE UK

Join us for an exciting exploration of Seeing out as well as in. Douglas Harding was a transformative thinker - the Headless Way is, literally, a way “out of the box” we’re mostly in: boxes which separate us, isolate us, and set us against each other. But the latest science shows that life has not evolved like that at all … life is co-operative, connected and mutually dependent. 

Human life on earth now faces a multitude of crises of our own making — a situation ripe for alternative perspectives to emerge … and they are.

In this workshop we will explore together, in conversation and interaction, how the Headless Way contributes to the transformative revolution which is both possible and necessary if humanity is to flourish on this earth. It might challenge you, it might inspire you, it might move you…

The venue is Sarum College, beautifully located inside the Cathedral Close in Salisbury; food and accommodation in ensuite rooms is included in the cost.

Here are the details and how to book a place:

We meet in time for supper [approx. 6.00 pm. But you can check in earlier] on the Thursday and close by midday on the Monday.

The main focus of our programme will be Douglas Harding’s experiments into our real identity through Seeing plus inquiry into what might follow as we connect with the outside world in this transformative way. You’re invited to participate in discovering the “wisdom of the crowd”; to enjoy quiet time together, free time in the afternoons, and learning some positive new ways in which the future might unfold.

Cost is inclusive of accommodation, food, and all group sessions during the four days.

Our groups are relaxed and informal, but do remember to bring rain wear and something warm — this is Britain after all!

If you wish to stay longer before or after the gathering please arrange and pay for that independently with the Hospitality Manager at Sarum College, email: hospitality@sarum.ac.uk

We look forward to welcoming you at Salisbury.

Best wishes,

From Judy and long-time friends
