Venue & Accommodation: Florence House lies in a quiet position on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Seaford, nestling at the bottom of vast open dunes, leading to a dramatic cliff line overlooking the English Channel with views towards France. Seaford lies midway between Eastbourne and Brighton on the south coast, each about 10 miles distant. The historic town of Lewes is about 12 miles to the north.

Built in the 1920’s by a local merchant as a wedding present for his daughter, Florence House has been extensively refurbished & now provides a large course room, lounge, dining room and oak paneled study. The six acre estate is within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has views of Seaford Head, the golf course, and across Seaford to the white cliffs and the sea.

All rooms are individually and comfortably furnished with excellent shared bathroom facilities.

The workshop:  Our weekend will begin on Friday evening at 7.00 pm with a introductions and a light activity, followed by dinner at 8.00 pm. After breakfast on Saturday, we will meet from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm (light lecture, discussion and reflective activities.)  After lunch you will be free to explore the gardens or the countryside, or just to relax at Florence House.  Our afternoon class will be from 4.00 to 7.00 pm (we will continue our exploration , discuss thoughts and ideas and do some reflective activities.)  Saturday dinner will be at 7.30 pm.  Sunday morning’s class will be from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm (we will continue on our journey of self awareness and acceptance.)  Our weekend will finish with Sunday lunch, but you are welcome to stay for a while during the afternoon if you wish to chill out for a bit longer! The weekend provides the opportunity of miles of wonderful walking along the cliff tops towards ‘The Seven Sisters’ and Beachy Head.
