Previous Events
The Edward Carpenter Community functions mainly by organising events. These may be week-long retreats, weekends, facilitated workshops or free-fomat where members bring their own energy. We don't have any base but we gather at a variety of venues in the United Kingdom.
These events have already happened, but you might find the details help give you a taste of what we offer on an Edward Carpenter Community event.
