Lifeways is an annual community camp, a week long experience of workshops, activities and music, suitable for the whole family. Peoples of all ages explore, create, and dream in a variety of sessions throughout the week. Children engage in a variety of experiences including clay work, food preparation, painting, and cooperative games with their groups. Residential and non-residential options available.

The Art of Life

The day starts when the alarm breaks through the soft light, into the morning chorus. What will today hold? Perhaps it’s noticing the beauty in life’s simple rhythms, straying from the familiar path to discover something new, finding significance in a moment of monotony, or uncovering a truth while creating something extraordinary.

The 'art of life' can encompass many things: finding meaning in everyday chores, establishing a routine that gives structure to each day, making time to create rather than buy, putting pen to paper to share a story or image arising from the mind's eye, moving to music (or in silence), or even singing a ditty on the way to pick up a pint of milk!

When we pause to look, taking time to find meaning in the small tasks as well as the big occasions, we may find there is something sacred living within every human moment. This year's theme encourages us to contemplate the Art of Life through workshops, talks, crafts, stories and activities. Adults and children together will help create and renew the rich tapestry of knowledge and friendship that makes the Lifeways week a special time each year.
