Welcome to Elders Wellbeing in the woods 2023. Our FORTH year of this successful venture, this sponsored by Heritage Lottery and Pargiter Trust.
In between we had our Friends of Kaliwoods which works on the land and in the wood.This year we planted a whole hedgerow, which survives.
If you’d like to join us from September 14th to December 14th you are be most welcome. We meet every Thursday from 12noon for light lunch cooked over the fire, to work or play from 1 to 3 pm. Please email to book or for more information.
We’re in our 4th year!
This year we explored our senses, ensuring our well-being with our connections, and then the trees in our woodland connecting to our woodland heritage, and planting seeds of trees of the future.
The team includes Nicky, Meg, Kally, Rachel, Lesley and Diana and a rich assortment of artists, musicians, and tree people.
Address : Kaliwood, Beccles Road, Holton, IP19 8NQ. If you need transport to get to us, let us know we may be able to hep.

Past
We started with an 8 week prototype which was so successful we have not stopped since. Working with the support of the Pear Tree Fund, mixing elders with children from other tribes, we’ve had a blast. Here is some of our story.
