Spring Equinox: Embodied Nature Connection.
Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd March
Join us to mark Spring Equinox with a special performance by Auka inspired by the melodies and rhythms of the natural world, an Open Day at 10 Trees, and a day of embodied nature connection - including a Wild Ground Yoga Walk with Kelly Dadd, Fireside Drum Circle, and Elemental Voice Vocalisation with Reya Caroub.
Auka.
From 7pm on Saturday, 21st March
Inspired by the melodies and rhythms of the natural world, Auka perform genre-defying original music on Irish flute & whistles, acoustic guitar and double bass. Auka comes from an Old Norse word meaning to grow or augment - a term that perfectly sums up the band’s organic and distinctive approach to music-making, where original folk melodies gradually swell from moments of delicate calm to those of frenetic energy.

Wild Ground Yoga Walk with Kelly Dadd.
9.30am on Sunday 22nd March
Join Kelly for a gentle, guided one-hour yoga walk, held at 10 Trees community garden - a chance to slow down, drop deeply into your body and connect with the earth.
This immersive experience weaves together mindful walking, dru yoga stretches, and forest bathing, inspired by the vast skies, abundant nature and expansive hills that make the garden such a special place of practice.
Fireside Drum Circle with Matt Laurie.
11am on Sunday 22nd March
Join Matt round the 10 Trees campfire as we gather in rhythm and song to welcome the first day of spring, a moment when the emergent energy of the season deeply complements the powerful and inclusive music-making of community drumming.
Gather around the warmth of the fire to honour the dark months and call in the season of renewal with rhythm, connection and shared intention.
Elemental Voice Vocalisation with Reya Caroub.
12.30pm on Sunday 22nd March
Join Reya on a journey to reconnect with the web of life through body, heart, and voice.
Together we will slow down, listen deeply, and remember our belonging to the natural world. Through movement and sound, and with the aid of the elements, we’ll explore how our voices can be a bridge between our own inner landscapes and the living earth around us.
Open Garden.
10am-4pm on Saturday 21st March
We’re opening the garden gate wide for the first of our Open Garden series this year - a day when everyone is invited to enjoy the garden in their own way and time.
Come discover the magic of 10 Trees - a mix of wild corners, tended beauty, wide open skies and heady vistas. Whether you’re a keen gardener, a local, or you’re just curious about the garden, come and spend time getting closer to nature.
You’re welcome to bring picnics and entertainment, and stay as long as you like whilst the garden is open. Bring your neighbours, friends and family too.
