Each workshop facilitated a transforma tion\, whether that be through gaining knowledge\, wisdom or an inner shif t. I left feeling lighter\, more aligned and truly connected with my inner and outer worlds. It was so inspiring to be surrounded by like-minded\, c onscious people\; the energy that was curated was magic. I am so grateful to have experienced its subtle but deep impact\, knowing that the lessons I learnt will be carried with me throughout my life.\nZofia Page (Age 21)\ n\nThank you to this incredible Wider Horizons family for creating such a memorable\, life-changing time for us all in the forest. Truly a moving an d humbling call back to nature\, to who we are and to what we all came to be a part of. I will hold this close\, always.\nLaura Deakin\n \nAs a youn g adult who has been to the wider horizons gatherings for the last 4 years \, I think they are amazing and beautifully transformational\, they have h elped me so much in my life! The gatherings have introduced me to a networ k of so many amazing people who have helped me develop ways of taking care of myself and my community.\nSeamus\n\nFor more head to: Reviews / Testim onials – Wider Horizons\nYou also might like to check out the video from a previous gathering - https://widerhorizons.events/summer-gathering-2023 /\n\nMore info: https://widerhorizons.events/summer-gathering-2025/\n\nVeg anHub: https://veganhub.co/events/wider-horizons-equinox-gathering LOCATION:Compton Dundon\, Somerset\, UK\, United Kingdom SUMMARY:Wider Horizons EQUINOX Gathering URL;VALUE=URI:https://widerhorizons.events/summer-gathering-2025/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
