Wellness.
Enchanted is an opportunity to dream big about your lifestyle and explore together what it means to live regeneratively.
Beyond good food and exercise, what are the ingredients that enable us to fully experience and feel fulfilled in our lives?
Community
Building.
The purpose of Enchanted is to grow our community and give friends of friends the opportunity to experience the magic of Selgars in the Summertime.
​
If you have been to Selgars before, why not invite a friend or partner and share the Enchanted experience together? Perhaps Selgars could become your home away from home?
Embodied
Play.
We decided to call the event Enchanted because we wanted to bring the spirit of play into the heart of the experience.
​
Enchanted is about awakening our childlike wonder and relearning how to learn through play as adults. How could your life change if you allowed yourself to look at the world with more wonder and curiosity?

Everyone who is taking an action, however small, is part of a gentle revolution. Activism has many forms, some well known, like protest, NGO's, and some less so. In this session Floris will go deeper into these less talked about forms of revolution, like wonder, crazy wisdom, be the media, be a bee and more. How may these prompts help us in unexpected ways? Spark our curiosity?

Our Story & Vision
In 2022 we were looking for a venue to host a UK re:build gathering about building regenerative villages. We found Selgars Mill and put down a deposit to host the first ever Enchanted. A few months later we had agreed with the owner to lease the estate full time with an option to buy after 2 years.
​
Since then we have hosted Enchanted twice and are now the official owners of the property. For us, Selgars was a dream come true. It has transformed our lives and given us a forever home and financial stability.
​
We can now think long term and reconnect with the true purpose behind Enchanted; which is to celebrate and grow the Selgars community and support inspiring projects that our friends are working on.
Enchanted is the event that brought us to Selgars and will continue to evolve with us. Ultimately, we want to create a fun and nourishing space where people feel safe to share their talents and dreams, both big and small.​​

Coliving Begins
What Could You Contribute?
Are you working on a dream project?
Do you have an idea for a creative workshop that you would love to share or test out during the gathering?
Enchanted is a safe space to share your talents and dreams, big and small. If you have a project or workshop you would like to contribute please get in touch.
Over many decades and centuries we have elevated the rational and intellectual above all other types of knowledge, whilst also teaching that we should mistrust the evidence of our physical senses. In doing so, we lost that sense of wonder, awe and belonging to the Earth that we felt when we were children.
Followed by Coliving & SOMOS
We also invite you to stay for an extra week and join our SOMOS Summer Programme, which will take place the following weekend (Enchanted participants will get a discounted rate).
"To live an enchanted life is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at the heart of the ordinary. Above all, to live an enchanted life is to fall in love with the world all over again."
- Sharon Blackie
Enchanted felt deeply nourishing, hopeful and inspiring. It is great to see so many pioneers concretely showing what it means to live and work regeneratively.
​
- Jean-Philippe Steeger
Enchanted was a magical place that had the world start to make more sense to me, meeting other people with such like minded work or mindsets .. and setting a platform for me to have more conviction into my work and life in the regenerative field.
​
- Rachel Sheila Kan
An experience of deep time where slowness and spaciousness teach you what regenerative really means.
