The Richard Glyn Foundation started its educational work in 1982 at High Lea School for children; moved to Gaunts House in 1988, and was registered as an educational charity in 1995.

Long ago, we realised the need to re-evaluate every aspect of modern life and endeavour in the West. The complete re-thinking and revolution of new ways takes time, connection to 'cosmic consciousness', (beyond collective mind), and interpretation for others so they may be able to learn, and refine themselves and the work.

The Foundation seeks Realisations of Life through wisdom teachings, mindfulness, conscious awareness,and pure intent in thought, expression and action. We offer learning on Communication, Community, Contemplation, 'Conversations', Creative Arts & Expression, Education, the Environment, Healing, 'Hearth Times', Meditation, New Organisational Structures, Philosophy and Spirituality, and particularly 'Profound Learning'.

Three days at Gaunts House. Arrive Friday for Tea and meet your host and other friends for the weekend. Friday is settling-in time and a lazy evening after supper. A walk is offered on Saturday morning followed by coffee and a session of conversations up until lunchtime. The afternoon is free to teatime, when a creative session, or introduction to Profound Learning session, is offered. Saturday evening is spent how the at home folk collectively choose, which could be an event or songs and stories in the bar. Sunday morning follows the Saturday plan. The weekend ends after lunch on Sunday.

A six day long transformational programmes follow a pattern of experiential and relationship-to-life events and happenings, offering revelation and the chance for re-evaluation. Togetherness Weeks, which we started 15 years ago, are led by a team of experienced Group Focalisers and guaranteed to refresh and re-awaken important parts of us that may have become submerged in the process and pressures of modern life. Chanting, conversations, countryside exploration, meditation, profound expression and listening, arts & crafts, games, left-field projects, time in the woods and along the river, relaxation, celebration and fun all have their part. These are weeks of feeling, laughter, nature, triumph and the re-emergence of our vital self. Likely to be life-changing.

This week long programme is designed to regenerate the lives of busy-busy city-folk and town-based professionals, to help free perspectives through the wholesome nature of life in the countryside. The week follows a pattern of thoughtful and valuable experience quite removed from office and street. Some of photographic deer stalking; vermin control; fishing; time on the farm; night walking; drumming; alternative creative skills; meditation may be included. A sophisticated version of Togetherness Weeks, the week will stretch your horizons; remind you of vital elements of life and beauty; will help re-establish your real value and what really matters.

Our Annual Gathering and Reunion for all spiritually-minded, ecologically motivated and creatively-living people. This year the Gathering will stay small and friendly, with workshops, music, events and entertainment throughout the four days. There will be more than 100 free workshops on dance, drumming and music, creative arts & expression, shamanism, healing, spiritual matters, storytelling, wilderness, and many on similar work to courses in this brochure. Open Forum Conversations will be held in different venues each day, led by your favourite workshop leaders - an opportunity for people who have valuable things to say about life and how we live; much common sense and wisdom to share. We hope to be able to help people join together to express themselves, to be heard and to listen to their peers and others carefully and with their hearts.
