September at Unstone Grange

… for the 4th year!

+++ +++

5th - 8th September 2025.

You are invited once more to come to this end-of-summer CCI residential at a wonderful venue that many of us love and treasure. It’s an absolute gem in a peaceful and secluded location in Derbyshire within easy reach of transport hubs.

Venue

+++

The large, old building is a house of great character, with nice, light workshop spaces, a comfortable lounge and space for us to spread out. The extensive grounds are beautiful, and offer gardens, lawns, trees, an orchard and a quiet camping field. The whole venue is looked after lovingly by The Unstone Grange Trust, with whom we’ve built up a good relationship over the last three decades.

Here's their website: [https://unstonegrange.co.uk/]

Sleeping accommodation is in shared bedrooms, unless you are camping. There are several comfortable bedrooms so we’ll be able to spread out.

Format

+++

We’ll offer the usual tried-and-tested framework for our event: there’ll be an Opening Circle each morning when anyone may offer or request a workshop or any other activity.

Inclusivity

+++

This event is peer-led and we’ll co-create the event together as we move through the weekend. If you have trained in CCI co-counselling you are welcome to come to this event, whether you are new or old, rusty or sharp as a new pin.

Food

+++

We have booked the wonderful Richard and Helena to do cooking for us, which they have done many times at Unstone Grange. This means that the food will be: FAB!

We’ll all take turns washing up and clearing away.

Opening Circle on the Friday evening.
