CHAMPSLAND FARMHOUSE

Most courses are held at  Champsland Farmhouse a very serene and  beautiful 17th century  Dorset longhouse

We're  just about half a mile from the village of Chideock , famous for it's  delicious local cider .The magnificent Jurasic coastline, spanning from Lyme Regis to Portland is on the door step  and there is lots to do in the area  especially if you like fresh air  and  spectacular countryside

Champsland  is peaceful and very cosy   with a  walled garden ,  and ancient  orchard  featuring  old varieties of apples, plums and pears .  Most tutorials are held in the sitting room beside a huge log fire crackling  with scented apple logs  or outside in the  little straw sanctuary

The  traditional  idea of passing on sacred skills through gentle teaching, hospitality and  soul care  is the foundation of these courses 

When you  arrive you will be given a   heart-filled welcome  and  treated like one of the family , I hope that this  atmosphere of  nurturing  will help to inspire your work as a Soul Midwife

 Organic, homemade meals are  eaten in the old dairy with it's pine beams and blue lias flagstones, or outside in the summer  where, from the garden, you can see the surrounding West Dorset hills.  I don't provide accommodation, but there are several really good , reasonably priced B and B's within walking distance.

The  following B and B's  are   an easy 15 minute stroll from the farmhouse:
