Featured Events in Folkestone in May, 2025 (June Updated)

This course is designed to get you as involved as possible - this includes identifying, picking and tasting a range of wild species that will be found on the day. There will also be samples of wild food for everyone to get stuck into! The focus with all of our workshops is on the 4 'F's of Foraging: Fungi, Fruit, Flowers and Foliage . We aim for an array of these elements on every session we run (weather and season permitting!) Event sold out or can't make this date? Head to www.foragebox.co.uk/workshops or view our Eventbrite profile to browse all available sessions. What To Expect Our 'Taster' events are our shortest workshops, open to anyone looking for a brief but informative introduction to the wonderful world of foraging. No formal food is provided, but there will still be plenty of tasting along the way. DURATION: 2 hours We like to keep some elements a surprise for the day, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop: a short introduction regarding the safety and format of the day discussions around foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette, sustainability and the law a circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpaths a closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager a chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours small tasters of wild food - this may even include freshly-picked items straight from the wild. our workshops are run in a welcoming and informal fashion, where attendee questions and contributions are encouraged after the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day. Please do not expect photos or descriptions in this email - it is purely a list for reference purposes, and we find it helps people do further research in their own time. Please note: as with most of our events, this is an educational experience and not a 'basket-filling' session . At the end of the session, there may be a small selection of our wild products and workshop vouchers available to purchase (card and cash accepted). This is a recent element of our events after enough attendees made enquiries about it - there is no pressure to buy anything having already bought tickets but sometimes people want a souvenir to take with them! Please speak to your tutor about this at the end. Who Is This Workshop For? These events are perfect for everyone - families, bushcrafters and dog-walkers alike! Nobody is made to feel out of their depth or silly for not knowing what certain things are, so these events suit absolute novices to more experienced hobby foragers alike. We strongly believe that foraging is for everyone , with all demographics welcome, regardless of age, ability, gender or ethnicity. Please read our FAQs further down the page to find out about dogs, children and mobility.

Pesso Boyden all day Group workshop, Sunday May 11th Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) Workshop A unique and revolutionary method that, using a group approach, revisits – and then allows us to rewrite – past experiences in a supportive, gentle, and respectful space. This process helps us reshape deeply ingrained imprints from childhood, creating new memories and ways of feeling about the past that can profoundly impact how we experience the present and future. These ‘new memories’ become part of a strong and positive inner framework, allowing us to see our childhood and past rooted in safety and love. This steady foundation enables us to re-emerge into our current lives feeling more confident, unrestrained, and joyful. For Participant Booking – £40 Please book via Eventbrite. For Client Booking (bringing your own issue)– £100 If you would like to attend as a client and have your own PBSP structure facilitated, please email your request to: hello@sashamaye.co.uk Please note: There are limited Structure (client) spaces available, so book early to secure your place. Confirmation of your booking will be sent via email. CPD: Psychotherapists can earn 7 hours of CPD for attending the workshop. WHAT IS PESSO BOYDEN SYSTEM PSYCHOMOTOR (PBSP)? PBSP is a pioneering therapy that allows us to return to key moments in our past and rewrite them in a way that feels safe, comfortable, and loving. By working with a group of people, each of whom might stand in for a family member or loved one, we can effectively stage-manage moments or situations from childhood that have had a deep impact on how we view and exist in the world today. For example, someone who had a distant mother who never picked them up from school might use PBSP to imagine a warm and connected mother who longed to be there. A participant would play that part, enacting how this ideal mother might have shown up for their child. Being able to physically and emotionally return to these moments—while experiencing them differently—fundamentally changes how we feel about them. As Bessel van der Kolk, acclaimed neuropsychologist and author of The Body Keeps the Score , explains: "Protagonists became the directors of their own plays, creating around them the past they never had, and they clearly experienced profound physical and mental relief after these imaginary scenarios." WHAT HAPPENS IN A PBSP SESSION? PBSP sessions take place in a group setting, with participants supporting each other’s process. Each person takes a turn as the Issue Holder, exploring a personal challenge with the help of others who stand in as significant people or symbolic elements of their past. The therapist gently guides the process, helping the Issue Holder track emotions and body sensations, making links between present struggles and past experiences. Through this, they are invited to reimagine how these memories could have played out in a way that provides safety, love, and belonging. Even those who attend as participants, without working on their own history, often find the process deeply moving and insightful. WHY DOES THIS WORK? Talking therapies allow us to verbalize and understand our past, but they don’t always change how we feel about it. PBSP is different—it works directly with the body’s implicit memory, allowing us to physically and emotionally re-experience moments in a way that leads to deep and lasting change. We live our lives through our bodies. When we feel triggered or emotionally activated, it is because our bodies are remembering and recreating past experiences, both physically and emotionally. While we can intellectually understand these reactions, we cannot simply think our way out of them. As van der Kolk describes: "It offers the possibility of forming virtual memories that live side by side with the painful realities of the past and provide sensory experiences of feeling seen, cradled, and supported that can serve as antidotes to memories of hurt and betrayal." By rewriting these experiences in a structured and embodied way, PBSP helps us install imprints of safety and comfort where there was once fear and abandonment. This process provides a new internal foundation for being in the world—one where we live larger, freer, and more joyful lives.

I’m still very much digesting the experience but it has given me faith in humanity and the power to heal. The sense of community support was deeply nourishing and the boundaries put in place made it feel like a really safe space to let go." "Have already recommended it to a couple of people who are doing talk therapy on family issues that aren't shifting. A great, safe way to do more embodied, communal practice that I think is really powerful." "It's an opportunity to be real in a safe place with the good will of ordinary people" Information Source: Sasha Maye Psychotherapy | eventbrite
