Hawkwood College, a Registered Charity, is an independent
centre for adult education. We aim to provide an
educational programme within a holistic, sustainable
environment that encourages people to develop their full
potential through social, artistic, and spiritual exploration.
HAWK WO O D
Its founding anthroposophical ethos provides a welcoming
context for our programme of short courses and retreats.
Emma Kirkby
Our place
Our 19th century Grade II country house is an enchanting
place to visit, surrounded by its own extensive grounds and
situated at the head of a Cotswold valley with panoramic
views down the Severn Vale. It is a beautiful, peaceful
setting for courses, retreats and conferences. All the land is

approach to agriculture which aims to enhance soil and
plant vitality. There are ten acres of native woodland
bounding the estate; twenty four acres of grassland
managed by Stroud Community Agriculture; a Victorian
half-walled garden growing fruit, herbs, flowers and
vegetables; an award-winning pond and wetlands system;
mature ornamental grounds with a magnificent ancient
sycamore and beside it the constantly flowing Hawkwood

a place for quiet and stillness. There are regular gathering
times on Sunday and Wednesday mornings but it is also
available at other times for use by Hawkwood guests and
the wider community.

This year, we are delighted to welcome some
new faces to Hawkwood alongside many of our
inspiring regular tutors. We will be joined for the
first time by Robert Hollingworth of I Fagiolini,
Jason Chan of Light Foundation, Emma Kirkby,
internationally renowned soprano and
Satish Kumar of Resurgence and Ecologist magazine.
Two themes stand out in our January – August
2013 programme. We will be celebrating Food,
Land and Healing with courses run by Touchstone
Collaborations, Weleda and renowned author
Wendy Cook. Also included are several courses
on nature, sustainability and pilgrimage. Our ever
popular open day on Bank Holiday Monday 6 May
is a treat for all the family and we will also be
holding a dynamic eco-spiritual festival in July with
music, talks, debates and workshops.
