Lifestyle We have in the past done many courses here at Springstone, some of them even paid for by the government through its Employment Training Scheme. At one point were were involved in a business that dealt purely with National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ's), in fact we have provided assessment documentation to help businesses and trainees get through the paperwork involved with these schemes in an easy manner (sometimes it's amazing how complex someone in an office can make plastering a wall sound). These days we don't run any courses but are prepared to host informal weekends when we will share details of our lifestyle, experiences and passions - sustainability, the environment, eco-systems, weather, organic gardening, renewable energy, herbal medicine, healthy eating, home brewing, smallholding and survival techniques, to name but a few, and you can add stuff like drumming and barebow archery. All that's needed for such a weekend to go ahead is four people on a fixed date. You can check back here for more details or please feel free to email us with the aspects of Springstone you are interested in, and we can get back to you.
