Bespoke courses & venue hire

We love to share the peaceful setting of the Schumacher learning community and the surrounding Dartington Hall Estate with guests. We offer the use of our facilities to organisations and groups who want to run their own courses or we can develop a bespoke course with our teachers and facilitators.

Your group can spend time in our outdoor classroom, our growing spaces or use our indoor video-link classrooms for connecting with international teachers. All visitors will have the opportunity to take part in community activities such as the morning meeting as well as enjoying freshly prepared vegetarian meals and simple accomodation. They are also free to explore the 1,200 acre historic estate and deer park.

What some of our guests have said

LUSH COSMETICS

“Our buying department experienced an incredibly peaceful and thoughtful few days at Schumacher in the presence of exceptionally inspirational speakers. We highly recommend the courses at this college for anyone who is interested in exploring deeper conversations around ecology and our place and impact on this planet, whether its from a business perspective to more of a personal exploration. Each of us had our own little piece to take away from the course, better equipped to contribute to our company vision. A big thank you to the entire Schumacher family for hosting us.”

– Cadi Pink, LUSH COSMETICS

LACERTA CONCERTA CONSULTING LTD.

It has been my pleasure to bring groups of various kinds to work at the lovely Schumacher College. Young students and professional corporate participants have all enjoyed the lovely position, gracious welcome, wonderful food and reflective learning opportunities presented there. I am looking forward to our next event in the collaboration with the Exeter University Business School One-Planet MBA, and other workshops in the years ahead.

– Caryn Vanstone, LACERTA CONCERTA CONSULTING LTD.

GLOBAL LEADERS ACADEMY

Thank you Schumacher for a wonderful, hugely impactful retreat when we came with 19 CEOs to experience deep learning in this extraordinary eco system. We were inspired by the depth of wisdom from the faculty and the sense of a real loving presence that permeates the whole community. Schumacher is truly a holistic learning environment that touched our hearts and has inspired us to take action!

– Sue Cheshire, GLOBAL LEADERS ACADEMY

CO-GITONS

Schumacher College offers our members a magical frame work to evolve as multi-dimensional human being. As innovators and entrepreneurs, they are used to intense atmospheres; here they explore “deep experience” which involved their brain, heart and hands… and also their legs, ears, guts, spirit, inner child, imagination, responsibility… all their senses. With the Schumacher Community, it is as if by magic that we feel at ease, like at home, and also very engaged, like a journey full of wonders.

– Olivier Maurel, CO-GITONS, FRANCE
