A gathering to rediscover older, more human ways of living.

SOLD OUT

We used to know how to make things, grow food and live by the seasons.

But we traded that for convenience. And now many of us feel something is missing.

This spring, fifty of us are gathering to take our first steps back.

What Is The Spring Circle?

A six-week live gathering exploring older and more human ways of living. Hosted by Jack Harries.

  • Four conversations with Gaz Oakley, Poppy Okotcha, Morvern Graham, and Rosie Steer. People who felt what you're feeling and did something about it.

  • Two sessions with Jack to open and close the six weeks. Space to reflect on what's changing.

  • A private community with weekly prompts, guest resources, and fifty others figuring it out alongside you.

This isn't a course. There’s no curriculum or certification. Just six weeks of honest conversation and the community to make something of it.

We're keeping it small so it stays real. Fifty places.

What You’ll Leave With

Learn from people who made the shift. Find others doing the same. Leave knowing where to start.

Inspiration: Get a clearer sense of which ways of living are worth bringing back and what that could look like in your own life.

Confidence: The first step that felt out of reach starts to look possible when you've spent time with people who actually took it.

Connection: Fifty people who feel exactly what you're feeling. You won't be figuring this out alone.

Meet the Guests

  • Gaz Oakley

    Chef and Grower

    Gaz walked away from professional kitchens to build a homestead in rural Wales. He grows his own food, forages, ferments, and has spent years learning what it means to live close to the land rather than just cook on top of it. In his session he'll be talking about food, self-sufficiency, and what the transition from that world to this one actually involved.

  • Poppy Okotcha

    Grower and Author

    Poppy left a career in fashion modelling to become a regenerative grower in Devon. Her book A Wilder Way came out of years of working the soil and rebuilding a relationship with food from the ground up. In her session she'll be talking about growing, ecological gardening, and what it means to bring your hands back into contact with the earth.

  • Morvern Graham

    Folk Storyteller

    Morvern lives on the Scottish coastline and has spent her career collecting the stories that landscapes hold — the old knowledge that rarely makes it into books. In her session she'll be talking about our relationship with the natural world, the tradition of storytelling, and why those old ways still matter.

  • Rosie Steer

    Author

    Rosie built her entire life around the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Seasons aren't a metaphor for her — they're a framework for how she eats, works, rests, and pays attention. In her session she'll be talking about slow living, seasonal rhythms, and how to bring those structures meaningfully into everyday life.

Is This For Me?

This is for you if…

  • You feel, somewhere beneath the busyness, that something essential is missing.

  • You want to feel more useful and connected, but don't know where to start.

  • You're curious about older, more human ways of living but haven't found your way in yet.

  • You're tired of sitting with that feeling alone.

This probably isn't for you if..

  • You're after quick wins and efficiency gains. We're going in the opposite direction.

What People Are Saying

“I absolutely love this idea!! I'd love to hear stories from people who have learnt these skills from scratch - not through family or knowing anyone with the knowledge - and how they did it”

— Bethen

“The modern world has dragged us further and further away from what we need as humans: community, challenge, purpose, physical work, mastery of something tangible, seeing the results of our work.”

— Elizabeth

“Thank you for building this! My family have always been farmers, now I work at a desk. I would love to learn more about growing and foraging, and curing.”

— Lydia

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You'll leave with real inspiration on what older ways of living could look like for you, the courage that comes from spending time with people who actually did it, and a first step that finally feels within reach.

  • Every Wednesday at 4–5pm GMT, starting 25th March through to 29th April.

  • Every session is recorded and in the community space within 24 hours. Whilst we'd love for you to make the live calls if you can, missing them won't mean missing out on everything.

  • Simple and focused. Hosted on Circle, it's where you'll find session recordings, weekly prompts, guest resources, and space to connect with other participants. No algorithms or noise. Just a small group exploring together.

  • One hour a week for the live session. Most people will spend two to three hours a week in total, including time in the community.

  • The community stays open. And this is just the beginning. Everyone who comes through the Spring Circle will hear about what's next first.

  • Let us know after the first two sessions and we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
