What if you gave yourself permission to pause? To reflect. To dream with intention.
In this creative and inspiring workshop, you’ll be guided through meditation, journalling and storytelling prompts to reconnect with what truly matters to you.
Science shows that focused attention, visualisation and a positive mindset can influence outcomes by changing our brain, perceptions and behaviours. This focus makes you more perceptive, motivated and likely to take the necessary actions to achieve your desired outcome.
Imagine what 2026 could look like, if there were no limits.
Tickets include a hot drinks on arrival and a Fernleigh lunch.
Tickets cost £125 or £95 for Fernleigh members. Book your space here.

Join us for a Slow Stitch and Visible Mending Techniques class here with the fantastic Charlotte from A Nest of Gentle Makers. Charlotte will introduce you to the modern visible mending techniques which is an amalgamation of Japanese Boro using sashiko stitching and other traditions, where running stitch is used to quilt and reinforce garments. Using small running stitches you can be as neat and tidy as you like or completely relaxed and free!
About your Teacher:
Charlotte from A Nest of Gentle Makers has had a passion for textiles and making since childhood. She is a keen believer in mending and derives great satisfaction from continuing the life of a favourite jumper or cardigan. She is a free spirit (messy) darner so is thrilled with the new interest in visible mending rather than aiming for an invisible repair!
Class Size:
Maximum class size of 10.
Skills:
This course is for all abilities.
Materials:
You will need to bring a pair of jeans or something similar to repair, and some decorative fabrics to repair with. Charlotte will have small sewing kits and will provide small remnants for you to practice on before you tackle your own project. You will need a small budget on the day for sashiko needles and Japanese fabrics should you wish to use them. Bar aprons will be available to purchase if you do not bring something to mend.
Duration:
1 half day
This workshop costs £60 and can be booked here.
