EarthSpirit Accommodation & Food
12 - 17 January 2026
Your Workshop Booking includes tuition and use of hall. Here you also need to book your meals and accommodation – while it is possible to stay offsite, staying onsite will greatly enhance your process and experience (and is really comfortable and great value!)
About the Venue
Just five miles from Glastonbury, on the edge of Compton Dundon village in Somerset, EarthSpirit Centre has won awards as a retreat centre, and as an ethical business.
The centre is situated in a beautiful landscape between two nature reserves; and just two minutes walk from St Andrew’s church, which has within its cemetery a yew tree of over 1,700 years old. The seventeenth century farm buildings have been restored and specially converted for use as a venue. They are set within seven acres of fields and gardens.
The complex is based around a converted long barn, with oak timbers, reed torching (lining the inside of the roof) and stone walls. The feeling is medieval, but with modern comforts such as under-floor heating and a large woodstove. The high roof and skylights create a light, airy atmosphere.

“Dancing the 5Rhythms is about waking up to your most essential nature, stretching your intuition and imagination as surely as your body. It’s a formless form, one that expands your range of physical and emotional expression and introduces you to forgotten parts of your self.”
