Adjoining Nature Reserve
The lane down to Little Acorn
|
The beauty of 'Little Acorn' is how isolated it feels from the rest of the world. Even though the mainline station of Truro is barely 20minutes drive away, we are tucked away down a half mile long track with sea glimpses en route, sitting in our own protected woodland next to a wildlife reserve. Being just a couple of miles from the surfing beaches of West Cornwall it explains why it took us nearly four years to find just the right place, as well as one we could afford! . Little Acorn is a place where there really is space to stop doing and to simply be for a while. The nearest street light is over a mile away and the nearest proper road is at least half a mile. Groups are intentionally small with a maximum of five participants. As part of our in person meditation teacher training we invite you to come and enjoy this space - starting and ending each day with an hour long guided meditation amongst the trees - either outside if the weather allows or in our own meditation room looking over the woodland. We then spend the day exploring a range of topics from the workings of the mind to teaching and practising meditation. We take plenty of time to chew over things with cups. tea, homemade cakes and walks down to the rarely visited nature reserve next door or the nearby coast to sit or walk undisturbed. Generally if the weather is fine we all go for a walk to a nearby beach or two together. Everyone attending gets a wholesome vegan main meal at lunchtime and for those staying with us on site you also get breakfast and a buffet of an evening. Much of our food is grown onsite here. There is endless tea and fruit available so help yourself :) |
