The Gaunts House Summer Gathering is a beautiful, inspiring, fun event for all ages. This page is here to give you a good idea of what to expect when you come, and to remind you of good times if you have been before. If you would like to volunteer this year please email Michelle: welcome@gauntshouse.com

Lets make our 2011 Summer Gathering magical!
Also... does anyone out there happen to have an electric bubble machine that they either don't need and would like to donate, or perhaps lend us for the Gathering? Thankyou :)
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
Another idea has been to encourage and develop the sense of Community that the Gathering creates... To encourage the wider Gaunts Community (that is everyone who comes here) to feel connected. We hope to do this in a number of ways... One way in which we hope to create a sense of community is through the Woodland Stage. Rob and Ant are hoping to attract musical people who will come together and share their talents. They are hoping the Woodland Stage will be a free and evolving space, where the musicians and the audience will feel connected and inspired.
Another idea along the community theme is to include more hands-on workshops. The raw chocolate making workshop was very popular last year and we hope to invite more workshops that give you the opportunity to get stuck in and maybe learn some new skills. One possibility is a workshop where you can make natural, aromatherapy soaps, shampoos, etc.
Another thing we would like to do is to give you more information about the Community of Profound Learning that already exists here at Gaunts House, and to give you a good idea of what we are about and why we are here. Information on the live-in Community here will be available in the information tent.
We are also going to give everyone who attends the Gathering a chance to get involved with volunteering while you are here. We will be posting information on jobs (e.g. help in the kitchen, litter picking...) on a volunteering board placed in the information tent, where you can come and see what needs doing and give us a hand. This is entirely optional and is designed to promote a Community feel, with everyone working together to make this Gathering special.
