The human heart has not had an upgrade update in 200,000 years.
Society of Poets is all about helping people reconnect with themselves, with each other, and with what matters through a poetic ethos.
This is a set of spaces for retreats, workshops, essays, and conversations, where people think more deeply, listen more carefully, and leave changed.

Walking with Wordsworth and Coleridge.
Each spring and summer, we take a small group into the Lake District: walking, writing, and visiting the ground that shaped two of English poetry's most important voices, the poets behind the book that changed what poetry was allowed to be.
Be more connected in an increasingly disconnected world.
For years I ran wellbeing and mental health sessions inside organisations. I built Society of Poets because time and silence do what sessions cannot.
With a deep love for the Lakeland poets, I have always been drawn to the power of words, the richness of silence, and the importance of being fully present. Wordsworth and Coleridge taught that nature is not simply a place to visit, but a companion in understanding ourselves. That belief sits at the heart of everything I create.
My hope is that every gathering, conversation, and walk leaves people feeling more connected to themselves, to one another, and to the world around them.
Ash, founder, in the Langdales, Lake District.
