SUMMARY:Cally Trench and Tineke Bruijnzeels: Day after day after day
DESCRIPTION:Daily drawings by the two artists lie at the heart of this exhibition: Tineke Bruijnzeels’ project ‘One more line a day’ using a wide variety of materials and Cally Trench’s ‘Left Hand\, Right Hand’ drawings in ink. Both projects reveal the passage of time\, and focus on the unit of the day – the most important measure of time in our lives\, the unit that governs our routines of waking\, sleeping\, eating and work. \nThe exhibition also includes Tineke’s new patterned abstract oil paintings; curiosity and play are the driving forces behind this project: within the rules that Tineke has set herself\, what will emerge? \nThis will also be the first chance to see Cally’s new series of drawings of flooded houses\, which continue her exploration of the fragility of everyday life\, as well as a new board game and animation films. \nOpening hours: Mon – Sat 10am – 4pm\nClosed: Sun and Bank Holidays \nExhibition Opening\nTuesday 30 June 6-8pm \nDrawing Workshop with the Artists\nThursday 2 July 2-3.30pm\nFree event / booking required \nMeet Cally Trench\nWednesday 15 July 11am-12.30pm \nExhibition Tour and Discussion with the Artists\nSaturday 8 August 2-4pm\nFree event / booking required

SUMMARY:Rest & Renew | A yoga\, earth and sauna solstice day retreat | Summer Solstice
DESCRIPTION:Join Georgie and Katie for a beautiful day of connecting to nature\, your yoga practice and your breath. A one-day seasonal sanctuary to honour the middle of summer\, ground into the body\, and return to yourself. \nWhat to expect \nJoin us for a nourishing day retreat designed to honour the power and stillness of the Summer Solstice. Rooted in the rhythm of the Earth\, our retreat invites you to rest deeply\, reconnect with nature and renew your inner light through yoga\, breathwork\, and sacred self-care. Our home for the day will be a gorgeous tipi in the Oxfordshire countryside with the added treat of a sauna and cold plunge.
