Family Focus Friends Weekend

23-25 July 2010

This weekend will follow the usual format of our Friends Working Weekends, but will focus on parenting and child friendly work activities. The weekend is free and we ask only for a small contribution towards food.

The focus will be on supporting the parents, whilst providing a beautiful and fun
experience living as a family. Accompanied by the warmth and insight of an
experienced family facilitator, take the time to reflect on your parenting
and receive support in areas important to you.

To book please contact: clare@embercombe.co.uk

More Information

As a parent, you are invited to take time out, individually, to reflect on your parenting and receive support in areas that you identify as important.  It offers parents the opportunity to talk with other parents in a structured and focused way, guided with the warmth and insight of an experienced family facilitator, Joanna Watters.

This is a time to join other families in the experience of staying at Embercombe, spending nights in yurts, each with a woodburning stove, to share the daily task of cooking good family meals, and to join in seasonal activities such as gardening, or work in the woods, or tending the land.

This isn't family therapy, or crisis management. It's about enabling ordinary families to take a proactive approach to parenting. Our goal is to enable you to focus on your approach to being a parent and leave with new insights and renewed enthusiasm for this most demanding and rewarding of tasks.
