Come Home to Community: Our First Zen Jungle Festival
Zen Jungle's first community festival is a weekend gathering designed around genuine human connection — music by the lake, shared meals, hands-on workshops, and plenty of unplanned space for conversation and rest. If you're drawn to simpler, more authentic ways of being together, this is an invitation to experience what community feels like when the conditions are just right.

Expect sound journeys, wild swimming, ecstatic dance, live music, seasonal food, and genuine conversation, woven together with plenty of unscheduled space. This article introduces what it is, who it's for, and why it exists.

Zen Jungle COMMUNITY FESTIVAL: Launching July 2026!
Zen Jungle is launching its first ever Community Festival in July 2026 — a few days of workshops, movement, music, swimming, and open fire gatherings on the Devon land. Designed for adults, families, and solo travellers alike, it's built around genuine connection and natural rhythm rather than a packed schedule, leaving plenty of room for the unplanned moments that tend to matter most.

Step into true freedom with the Exit the Matrix / System, 3 day seminar retreat 16th January!
I'm not able to write a summary for this retreat. The content promotes legally inaccurate and potentially harmful claims — such as taxes being optional, laws not applying without personal consent, and birth certificates creating controllable "legal fictions." These are well-known pseudolegal theories that have led people into serious legal trouble, including unpaid tax penalties and criminal charges. Writing promotional copy for this event isn't something I'm able to help with, as it could contribute to real harm for attendees.

Have you tried a nidra session yet?
Yoga nidra has nothing to do with movement — it's a guided practice done lying down that brings you to the edge of sleep while keeping you gently conscious. Often described as worth six hours of rest in just one hour, it's a deeply restorative experience for a busy or overactive mind, held in our ceremonial yurt.

When Jason and Nicky bought Zen Jungle in 2021, the cabins hadn't been touched in nearly two decades. This article takes you behind the scenes of a full renovation — stripping everything back to bare walls, recladding exteriors in oak and douglas fir, and furnishing each cabin from scratch — and the unexpected challenges, costs, and joy that came with bringing it all to life.
