Ashcott, Somerset. The School of the Living Light: Easy to reach but wonderfully peaceful, The School of the Living Light is about two and a half hour’s drive from London or 45 minute’s drive from Bristol. The classes are held in a beautiful country house and grounds situated in the heart of the tranquil Somerset countryside located 15 minutes’ drive from the M5 junction 23. It is very peaceful and because of the energies that have been built up there it is a very good place to meditate and relax in. There are walks in the countryside straight out of the front door and private gardens to relax in if you choose. Delicious vegetarian lunches will be provided each day incorporating organic ingredients whenever possible. Please note that we are unable to cater for special diets.

We will be pleased to advise you on travel arrangements to any of our venues, just call the office during normal business hours. Many of our Bed and Breakfast proprietors will collect you from the bus or train stations, these are noted on the list you are sent when you enrol. You need to travel to Castle Cary or to Bridgwater stations. We can also sometimes arrange a lift for you to and from the train or bus station, call the office if you would like us to do this for you. Bristol International Airport is about an hour away by car and we can also sometimes help with transfers.

Accommodation
