Somerset
42 Acres
42 Acres is a wonderul space in Somerset set up by friends of our Founder. Benedict has enjoyed many visits to this special place, dedicated to upliftment and wellbeing, including a retreat he helped organise in 2019 with Sri Svami Purna.
It is a regenerative estate, anture reserve and wellbeing retreat centre.
On the front lawn are two of the sweetest oaks - like a devoted wedded couple, and we can offer oaklings grown from the larger of these two trees.
