Phoenix – about the name.
It can be easy to feel that “we are who we are” and that there is no possibility of change or development or that we have made choices that we feel we cannot move on from.
The Phoenix bird is associated with the idea of regeneration. That we can experience adversity or feelings of failure and rise up, make changes and move forward.
Rama Life promote lifelong learning, self-development, self-reflection and that every ‘failure’ is an opportunity for progression.
Field and Growing Zone
Explore our site as part of one of our groups, where we offer space to relax, learn, decompress or socialise. There is always something to do!
Venture onto a skill session such as archery, bushcraft, campcraft, gardening, art or sport.
Gather with your existing group or team, to access the space for your own activities or book on for team-building, skill sessions or evening campfires.
Engage with the project, the land or the community, by helping tend the garden, offering basic maintenance skills or volunteering with a youth group.
