Summer Walk – Connection and Collaboration – at Knepp Rewilding Landscape, West Sussex, UK
To celebrate the Summer season with rare Purple Emperor butterflies and storks, Lydia Stevens and Anna Brown are hosting a walk at the spectacular rewilding landscape that is the Knepp Estate.
We warmly welcome all people developers (coaches, facilitators, trainers, supervisors, consultants etc) to join us for a walk around Knepp. The walk will be at a gentle pace, allowing time to regroup and pause to appreciate our surroundings (roughly 8km). Knepp is a demonstration of allowing nature to regenerate. This route will include beautiful landscapes, butterflies, storks and free-roaming old English longhorn cattle, Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies and deer.
This stunning landscape will set the scene for connection and collaboration, sharing with other folks in your field, as well as the more-than-human world that Knepp has enabled to flourish through its regenerative approach over the last 20 years. We want our time together to be equally free roaming and emergent, so there will be no fixed topic of conversation or agenda. We are keen to invite whatever conversation wants to happen.
You may wish to arrive early to join us for an informal lunch at the fabulous Wilding Kitchen Café at Knepp, where they celebrate the very best of produce from the Estate. Highly recommend!
*The walk is free to join and open to all. Arriving for lunch is optional and at your own expense.*
Once you’ve booked on, you’ll be added to a WhatsApp group to self-organise into lift shares or station pick-ups and to begin to connect with each other. [The closest station to Knepp is Horsham.]
Do get in touch with Lydia (lydia@climatebiodiversitycoaching.com) or Anna (anna8brownie@gmail.com) if you have any questions! We very much look forward to welcoming you to Knepp to celebrate the Summer season with us.

Why is Knepp so full of life? It stems from the way our free-roaming animals break up the fabric of our soils. These mini disturbances create space for new life to take root. You could say the same is true for human creativity. When routines are ruptured – even just for a day – new bursts of inspiration and productivity can be released”. Come to see for yourselves and meet others from the CCA in person.
