About Woodoaks Farm and how to get there
Woodoaks Farm lies just to the west of London at Maple Cross in Hertfordshire. It extends to just over 300 acres and includes arable and pastureland and around 75 acres of semi-natural woodland.
The farm has been in the Findlay Family since the 1920’s and in 2020 Sally Findlay donated Woodoaks to the Soil Association Land Trust to ensure it will be farmed sustainably into the future; producing good food, improving wildlife and continuing to welcome people.

With Lucy and Kerri
Join us for a unique immersive Sound Healing experience that weaves together the vibrational sounds of Tibetan bowls, chimes, drums and gongs with the healing frequencies of Karuna Reiki®.
In this co-created journey of sound and energy, you will be gently guided into deep relaxation and inner harmony.
As the resonant tones of the instruments wash over your body and mind, the Karuna Reiki® energy will be channeled through voice—using the sacred Karuna Reiki® symbols—infusing the space with compassion, love, and healing.
This will be a truly unique experience :)

About Braziers Park
This hidden architectural treasure, set deep in the beautiful countryside of south Oxfordshire in the Chiltern Hills is an attractive Grade II listed building, parts of which date back more than 300 years.
The old manor is in the 'Strawberry Gothic' style and is set in 55 acres with beautiful gardens in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of the village of Ipsden in south Oxfordshire. Once the home of James Bond and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang author Ian Fleming, it has been an educational trust since the 1950’s.
Braziers is a working eco-community with livestock, a walled organic vegetable garden, an ancient orchard and is surrounded by woodland and fields. The location is perfect for a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating retreat.
We will work in the beautiful drawing room and have the run of some parts of the house. Braziers Park is very quaint and quirky with plenty of space to nestle down with a book or sketch pad. There is a library, dining room and an informal space by the grand piano, which anyone is invited to play. There will be plenty of time just to hang out and chat, meet new people, read, relax and enjoy being a part of the community in natural surroundings. If you enjoy being outdoors, you can walk and explore the wild beauty of the woodland countryside during your stay.
All rooms are comfortable and charming and the bathrooms are shared. Vegetarian meals will be served in the paneled dining room, with much of the home-cooked food grown on the Braziers estate. Because this is a community run venue, we do have to do our own washing up of plates, cutlery and cups – this tends to become a fun and communal activity rather than a chore😊
