Reclaim The Fields Gathering 16-25Mar - Forest of Dean

[ProtectTheWilderness]

Reclaim The Fields 'Spring into Action' - What's going on?

Still plenty of time to get in contact, and offer 
to share your skills with inspired people, play 
music, recite poetry, partake in a barn dance (or 
two) or talk about a subject you feel passionate 
about. Email us : 
<mailto:yorkleycourt at gmail.com>yorkleycourt at gmail.com 
if you'd like to help increase the diversity of the Gathering!

 >From the 16th – 25th of March, there will be 
skill-sharing, talks, practical activities, 
family fun, music, feasting, festivities, radical 
peasant action and much more to get involved with 
going on around the Farm Starting on the 9th of 
March – the RTF ‘seed camp’ will begin with a 
two day Permaculture course. The Seed Camp is 
open and free to all, and will be responsible for 
planning, making decisions and setting up the 
infrastructure of the Gathering. It really is 
your gathering, so it’s direction will be 
co-created by all, every decision from food to 
finance, through family activities to activism 
will be openly discussed and decisions will be 
made through com-sense-lore [what is learned, 
through common sense and open, sensitive communication]

It’s not just your Gathering, it’s about to 
become your Farm! – held in Trust and there to 
serve you – the people of this Forest and beyond 
– “ the true Beneficiaries of the Land.

Kids space, with fun activities like Seed-Bomb 
making, story-telling and Forest mythology walks 
- will be open as often as there are people who 
want to help run the kids space and make the 
gathering more accessible to parents!
