5th – 8th October 2026
with Ramana & Andy

Completion & Closure

An opportunity to come and nourish yourself by connecting to nature and the land, and to support us to Beautify the grounds of Leela this spring time at no cost!

This week focuses on final festival clear-down and autumn maintenance. It’s about closing cycles well, storing equipment, repairing wear and tear, and supporting the land as it moves toward rest.

A good week for those who value finishing things thoroughly and working with the seasonal shift inward.
