Why we chose 42 Acres?
42 acres is a regenerative, and hyper-local establishment that was started by siblings Seth and Laura Tabatznik as a home for personal, social and environment change after having been deeply inspired by a number of personal retreats and workshops in their lives. Both Seth and Laura are strong advocates that outer change in the world starts with the self, or to quote Gandhi "Be the change that you wish to see in the world".
Powered by 100% renewable energy, at it's core 42 acres is the embodiment of regenerative practice, and actively creates spaces to support a reconnection with nature, the self and others. Home to wellbeing and nature based activities, biodynamic farming and an abundant nature reserve -- it's a no brainer why Primal Gathering is taking place there this year!
How 42 acres embodies it’s philosophy:
Through creating new forests and edible hedges we are creating new sources of fuel, food and habitat for both humans and for the wildlife.
100% of our heat and electricity is from renewable energy.
Although they haven't invented electric tractors yet, all of their other vehicles are 100% electric, including our 4x4 buggies and quad bikes
Protect thought extinct species to this region, including beavers, wild boar, pine martens to name a few, as well as offering a home to barn owls, otters, hares, kestrel and buzzards supporting these animals with plenty of habitat for them to thrive.

UK Partnership with Medicine Festival
Medicine Festival began in 2018 as UK's most restorative gathering for both people and the planet. They exist to support the interweaving of communities and bridging cultures – wisdom keepers, indigenous communities visionaries, artists, and solutionaries of all traditions to inspire and ignite a deeper understanding of how we can tread lightly, and live harmoniously as we support each other in the creation of the world we want to see – an equitable and thriving world.
