Our AMAZING Events
BEING HUMAN
Seasonal earth-based practice at Fen Zen
Being Human is a year-long series of seasonal, outdoor gatherings for adults who want to slow down, reconnect with the land, and relearn simple, practical ways of being human together.
Shaped by the seasons, the land, and the pace of the group, sessions take place outdoors in all weathers. We cook and eat together over the fire using local and foraged produce, and learn through shared, hands-on practice rather than instruction or outcomes.
This series focuses on simple, earth-based skills — such as fire, food, water, tools, shelter, and tending — while building resilience, belonging, and confidence over time. It is not about mastering skills, but about remembering through practice.
No prior experience is needed. Come with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to move at a slower, more human pace.
Family nature play sessions
Meet as our ancestors did,... together, around a fire, connecting with other families in nature. Connection with the Earth and each other, connection to our lineage, to the Ancient ways, to how we have always lived, as a village raising our children together around a fire, weaving, singing, offering our thanks to Mother Earth.
Offered as a monthly session alongside the Celtic calendar, we invite you to step back into these traditional practices, welcome home.
Rhythm of the Earth Educational Sessions
Earth-based sessions helping children reconnect with self, land, ancestry and lost skills for resilience, belonging and purpose.
Our event series is designed as a gentle unfolding — each gathering deepening children’s connection with nature, ancestry, craft, and themselves. Children are welcome to join any single session, but together they form a powerful seasonal journey of remembering. These events are educational, we learn together and cover all aspects of the national curriculum without using traditional classroom style lessons. 10.30am to 2.30pm
We guide children (and families) into rich, hands-on experiences that awaken curiosity, confidence, and belonging. Through land-based skills, sensory exploration, and ancestral learning, participants discover:
- Earthen crafts and traditional techniques passed down through generations
- Rewilding skills and natural awareness
- Stories and cultural practices from our shared heritage
- Seasonal rhythms and cycles that help us feel at home in the world
- Community connection, cooperation, and gentle resilience
- A sense of purpose that can’t be found on a device

Women's Nurture Days
Make time to harness the power of nature and fully immerse yourself in a ‘Women’s Nurture Day’ found in the beautiful setting at Fen Zen, for women only. Tucked away in the beautiful West Norfolk countryside, on the outskirts of the small village of Denver. This peaceful, healing environment is the perfect haven to enjoy a day of relaxation, meditation, and opportunity to refill your ‘creative-well’ by trying an optional creative activity.
Women’s Nurture Days are offered throughout the year from Springtime to Wintertime. We look forward to welcoming you to Fen Zen, to harness the power of nature and use this natural space to fully relax. Encouraging you to spend quality time in nature, on a regular basis. To help you feel more centred, more at peace and more balanced.
