Are you seeking an unusual alternative holiday? Or perhaps you’re a workshop facilitator searching out a venue. Or maybe you’re a potential workshop participant looking to see what courses and events are on offer. Places to Be will be your guide on a tour of unusual organisations and residential facilities throughout Britain and elsewhere. Full page listings give you a clear idea of what’s available from each venue or holiday operator. Many more are also listed in lesser detail. Some offer retreats, some just a space for others to hire. Some run their own workshops, some just provide a distinctive B&B service. They are of all shapes and sizes (and spiritual persuasion or not) but all offer something that little bit different.
Places to Be is aimed at two main groups of people ... individuals and group facilitators.
The individuals may be looking for:
- a “Bed & Breakfast with a difference” (perhaps offering healing, massage, tours of ancient sites etc) – the B&B Seeker’s Index is there to help.
- a retreat (perhaps as an individual or as part of a larger group) – the Retreat Seeker’s Index lists venues that offer retreat facilities by type of retreat and spiritual focus (if any).
- a workshop or course – the Workshop Seeker’s Index displays centres according to the broad subject areas that they cover.
The group facilitator may well be running a workshop themselves or perhaps setting up a small conference or an awayday for a business or voluntary organisation.
- the Venue Seeker’s Index is aimed at people who are looking for a venue to hire.
This will be the last printed edition of Places to Be to be published for the foreseeable future. For up-to-date information, see the website below. |
