Our Philosophy

We are up for creating a community within the community, which we want to develop and grow and be a living example of how we can support each other, the wider community and tread gently on the earth. Our vision is to improve the health of individual souls, our communities and our planet. We are guided by mindfulness, love, sustainability, integrity, respect, holism and total accessibility.

Our aims are:

To conserve and give new life to redundant farm buildings, and by their sensitive conversion, demonstrate the use of sustainable building techniques and materials in action.

To create a sustainable enterprise and supportive community based on a balanced mix of arts, trades, therapies, courses and services that are mutually complementary.

To provide an inspirational meeting place for the local community.

To provide employment for local people.

To create and serve loveable, local and organic food in a café that is the heart of the Fold®, and out-catering to the local community.

To create ‘WholeHealth’ as a loved and well-used centre of excellence for complementary therapies, working towards integration with the NHS and providing opportunities for optimum health.

To create inspirational seasonal events throughout the year.

To provide an inspirational experience for visitors with opportunities for the purchase of goods.

To extend an invitation to people to engage with their own healing process.

To provide education and training.
