Nocturne: New Year Release and Renew After Dark
As the new year begins, you are invited to step into the dark forest, look back on the year behind and release that which no longer serves you. Burn your list on the fire in the shadow of trees and clear space for a bright new year ahead.
Come and enjoy the quiet wonder of nature by night with reflection and connection as we spend time together under the woodland canopy setting intentions for 2026.
This is a chance to step away from the glare of electric light in our homes, leave our screens for a few hours and experience being outdoors with a small group together in nature under the stars.
We'll meet near Slades `Farm Car Park then take a very short stroll together to a clearing in the woods. Bring a chair, a pen and paper and a few ideas of things you would like to leave behind in 2025. Self doubt... Anxiety... Stress... Write it all down and watch it burn!
Nocturne is a celebration of natural darkness and human connection and invites you to seize the night!
What to Expect:
• A guided night-time gathering in Talbot Village Woods
• Gentle reflection and release ritual
• Listen to music in the dark forest
• Space to relax, reflect and connect with nature and each other at night
• This event will be experienced in the dark with a campfire.

“I am still savouring how magic and alive and meaningful the Nocturne event was that you designed. You really touched something so deep and the beautiful weaving of so many kinds of night time reverence speak to something I hope to keep nourishing.” Brooke, participation at Forest of Imagination, 2025
