Limited Spaces
A two-day summer gathering in the heart of Somerset, celebrating connection, community, and the aliveness of the season
We are celebrating two years of HartSpaces and want to celebrate with you.
This weekend brings together the facilitators who have been at the heart of our community over the past two years. Surrounded by the beautiful grounds and nature of Winterbourne, you'll enjoy a weekend of connection, play, restoration, and community.
One-day, two-day, and overnight options available.
Where we will gather
Winterbourne sits within 35 acres of rolling Somerset countryside, just one hour from Bristol. A place where the land feels alive, where farm-to-table dining comes straight from the earth beneath your feet, and the sound of the hill-sourced Bullbrook can be heard drifting through stone and glass.
Winterbourne's history runs deep, half a millennium of seasons have shaped these grounds. Every path reveals something shifting and alive: flowers in bloom, light changing through the trees, the quiet rhythm of a place that has always known how to hold people well.
Saturday 25th July
‘Dancing at Lúnasa’
Lúnasa is the ancient Celtic festival that marks summer’s peak, a time of abundance, aliveness, play, and gathering.
Saturday honours this spirit with summer games on the grounds, yoga and movement, music, community, ritual, and the simple joy of being together at the height of the season.
Time: 10am-9pm
Both days will offer a thoughtful balance of practices,
Sunday 26th July
‘Quiet the mind, open the heart’

Time: 10am-9pm
Both days will offer a thoughtful balance of practices,
