Something Different Collaboration Gathering 2026 - Event Info'
--<<4th -6th September at Out To Grass WR13 5JW>>--
The Returning
Join us in 2026 as our collaboration gathers again to celebrate the amazing creative talents of our community and what is possible when we work together as one.
Never before has it been so clear that setting the right intentions when we gather can be a powerful thing.
we are trying to return to a balance of energy and less feelings of distance, separation and loneliness within our community, to improve mental health and general well being within our community. It's about us thriving
We are trying to embrace a return to care, well being, safe guarding and empathy to all within our community. To put this first and above all else.
We are trying to instigate a return to an older, ancient way of thinking that has been programmed out of our neurological mapping and internal emotional connections.
It is still there and present and ready to use again. We gather to open ourselves to this process, to embrace it and celebrate it.
We celebrate full power female energy and the return to the empathetic embrace of the feminine energy speaking to us through nature and vibrations. Sent from the spirit of our earth, Gaia.
This will bring a balance and connection of all things, into play.
Everything we do, we do for you, with love and empathy for all living things at the centre of it's ethos.
I know I can rely on you full for support of our efforts because you are our energy and together we are Something Different
Keep your face all over this place for incoming plans and Full line up !!!x x x
