Family Farm October Weekend
More details to follow...
Escape to the Hunter with a gentle 1.5-day escape at the campsite — switch off the noise, let go of the habits and worries that run us, and reconnect with what matters. Workshop participation is entirely optional; come for the whole program or just for the fire, the food, and the fellowship. Enjoy the constellations around the campfire with our community. This is our Spring event in a year-round farm event calendar taking shape.
The peaceful farm environment is ideal for dealing with "Unwanted thinking".
Anxiety is exhausting. Over time it can lead to clinical depression. People find destructive ways to distract themselves from the unwelcome thinking. Their thoughts cycle with no solution - whether consciously or beneath the surface. Relationships are difficult because people find sufferers to be negative or self-absorbed as they endlessly try to figure out the problem - or are not aware of the problem and hide in their addictions. The stresses of daily life mean we need our dopamine fix. Addictions, including phone scrolling, that we know don't make us feel any better in the long term, need to be replaced by better practices. Alan will be leading a workshop to help us escape the anxiety!
When our internal conflicts are resolved we get our freedom. You may feel more energetic when the energy spent trying to "work it out" is better utilised. Addictive behaviour decreases because you no longer need that distraction. Your sleeping improves without the worry. There is a sense of peace. Alan's workshop on "Unwanted thinking" is just one of the segments that will make up the weekend.
Visits to deal with anxiety and stress issues sees me much more relaxed; able to review my thoughts and have a better understanding of my triggers and myself. Definitely worthwhile.

I came full of worry, anxiety and stress. I also came with a little bit of scepticism. I feel lighter right now and no longer a sceptic - worry replaced by hope. I now feel I can look forward to the things that made me feel sick in the past.

I can not say enough, about what Alan does, but it is a gift and I recommend to anyone that has suffered anxiety to try this before going down any other roads. Thanks again.
