What’s On at Eden Rise – Winter 2026

Winter can be a glorious time to tramp through the Devon countryside. When the air is still, the light is bright and dew covers the earth, time seems to stand still – as if all the world is sleeping, waiting for the Spring. Only an occasional Robin ticking in a hedge or a Blackbird scolding in alarm breaks the silence. And what can beat the return to a warm, cosy space such as Eden Rise on a winter’s eve? We’ve a wealth of opportunities for connection and personal development this winter. And we’d love to share it with you.

In February, Nathan Lyde and Zohar Lavie will lead four days of silent meditation and tree planting in support of Moor Trees, a local rewilding charity. The Al Head returns for Choosing Connection, an opportunity to explore connection, choice and consent for lbgtqi+ people.

Finally, as Spring arrives, Ed Rooke returns with a  chance for men to “find the king within you”  and become the leader of your own life. And lastly, Virginia Compton will lead Spring Cleanse, to encourage you to rest, restore and let go through therapeutic yoga, restorative restful breath work, yoga nidra, massage, art, movement and sound.
