We will be having story telling from Cath Little, Kestrel and David Ambrose, plus Mario’s magical Wizardry, plus a few key talks in the barn about community, the history of Coed, open discussions on sustainability and land based living.
NOTE: The Schedule for 2025 is yet to be confirmed but we thought you would like to see some of the previous artists who ran workshops at Coed Ffest 2024:
STORY TELLING
This year we will have a three story tellings throughout the weekend from Kestrel Morton, Cath Little and David Ambrose.
Cath was with us last year telling stories from the land, and this year we are welcoming in our two story tellers Kestrel and David who have been long term friends of Coed, and also came to perform at the first Coed Wassail back in the end of January 2024.
Expect enchanting stories to take you into the world of of the mythical and magical.
COMMUNITY: How do we create and maintain it?
Last year Rawley and Stevie ran a talk on the Coed Community which has been running for over 25 years. It has had many ups and downs. This is a questions and answers session for anyone who is interested in joining a community or setting one up. We invite you to share your thoughts and questions, and to learn from our lessons!
This talk will be in the Main Barn.
THE HISTORY OF COED
Rawley Clay, Son of Bill and Gill Clay, was born at Coed and has spent most of his life living in and around Coed Hills. He is the founder of Coed Rural Art Space, and the main driver behind the entire vision of Coed. Without Rawley there would simply be no Coed! He will be giving a bit of history behind the establishment of Coed and opening up to questions and answers.
THE BOTTEGA PROJECT
John Whitehead, long term friend and part time resident of Coed will be sharing his visions of The bottgea project.
The Bottega Project aims to generate a model for change to a sustainable, compassionate way of life at a city scale.
It works on a joined up thinking, whole systems basis, , driven by conversations and collaboration at a community level.
