Nature’s Symphony 2025
A Neo-Classical soundscape woven through Paradise

Presence yourself.
Take a breath.
Enter the portal of Paradise.
Journey into an enchanting communion with forest, mountain, & night sky like never before. Be guided into a curated contemporary classical soundscape amidst Earth’s melodies; the Cello’s warm tide beneath the wind, a Harp’s ripple weaving with the birdsong, and the echoes of piano beneath the blanket of night sky. Through the participatory expression of our innate sensuous nature, we harmonise as an intrinsic note within this great symphony of life.
The Journey:

-Curated Soundscape & Neo-Classical Concert

-Immersive Storytelling

*Concert
Find yourself woven into the tapestry of sound. The captivating melodies of the elements & the compositions of the artist unite to create Nature’s Symphony. Each concert experience held in an array of locations throughout the serene natural ambience of Paradise Trust is an interplay of creation. The resonance of Cello amongst the trees, a Harps melody coalescing with the birdsong, and the enchanting tone of a violin beneath the wind will invite you into a sensory space of connection with this living world. As the Sun sets, and we embrace the last light of the day, Pianist, Composer & Music Therapist Luke Gajdus will take us on a journey of deep relaxation and connection. Accompanied by a gifted ensemble of musicians, this awe inducing concerto will be a stirring main event.
*Storytelling
We are myths and stories living and breathing.
Join Somatic Movement Therapist and Founder of The School of Awakening Arts Juliette Mchonachy, for the unfolding interplay of living story about the times that we find ourselves, and where we might be headed. The land, the wind, the waters and fire speak. Whether aware or not, we are in continual conversation. The stories shared through body and breath shape our reality. Sharing these stories are as vital as the food that we eat. Thus, we aim to create a space where story roots back into land and rises up through the vessel and voice of human expression - grounded in the adaptive and contextual wisdom of the now.
*Eco Somatic Inquiry
Where the living, evolving process of a human body remembers the interweaving with the wider body of the Earth. Eco Somatic Facilitator Sierra Espinal invites in the opportunity to become more porous and sensuous to the animate world and viscerally aware of our inter connectivity. A moment to gently attune, harmonise, and recognise our symbiotic relationship with the organic, elemental, and wild nature that we are surrounded by and made up of. Sensing ourselves not as seperate but a miraculous part of the ecological web. Enhancing our capacity and reciprocity for insight, revelation, awe, and wonder whilst basking in the symphony of the ever evolving eco-tones.
*Culinary Experience
If we are what we eat, then we are local, seasonal, organic, & wild. There lies a deep intentionality in the way that we share food. We connect with the world around us, our body within, and to one another when we share kai. Our local team of incredible chefs prepare a banquet for us to come together and feast. With locally grown, harvested & foraged ingredients, we explore this living world through divine taste.We cater to a range of dietary requirements. Let us eat together as community.
This is a fundraising initiative.
In 2025 Nature’s Symphony will be supporting both Paradise Trust; as an integral pillar for the wider community to be and connect with the rhythms of nature, and Broomhill Sanctuary; a local food sovereignty venture growing organic produce to feed the community.
