Join L.E.S.S. Is More in 2027 through individual virtual field journeys, the complete 12-month course or new in-person site visits across the UK.
L.E.S.S. Is More
Liminal EcoSoma System
A year of fieldwork exploring body, land, relationship and environment
What happens when we stop rushing through a place and allow ourselves to enter into a relationship with it?
L.E.S.S. Is More is an experiential field programme exploring the relationships between human awareness, the body, the natural environment and places carrying cultural, historical or personal significance.
During our previous 12-month journey, we visited ancient landscapes, sacred wells, stone circles, historic buildings and community spaces.
In 2027, you can enter this work in three different ways:
- Experience an individual past field journey virtually.
- Follow the complete 12-month virtual course.
- Join us for selected new site visits and live field experiences.
You do not need previous experience, specialist knowledge or a particular belief system.
You are invited to arrive curious, participate at your own pace and decide what your experience means to you.
Less Noise. More Noticing.
Modern life continually directs our attention outwards.
Messages, responsibilities, screens and expectations can make it difficult to recognise what the body is communicating—or to notice how different places affect our thoughts, emotions and behaviour.
L.E.S.S.™ Is More creates a structured pause.
Through guided attention, embodied awareness, observation, journalling and carefully designed field activities, participants are invited to explore:
- How their body responds to different environments.
- What changes when attention slows down.
- Their relationship with landscape, history and place.
- Personal patterns that become noticeable in the field.
- The difference between expectation, interpretation and direct experience.
- How an experience may be integrated into everyday life.
- What remains an open question.
This is not about being given an answer.
It is about learning how to notice more carefully.
Three Ways to Participate in 2027
Choose One Virtual Field Journey
Begin with the landscape, theme or experience that draws your attention.
Each standalone virtual journey allows you to revisit one of our previous field experiences from wherever you live.
Your journey may include:
- An introduction to the place and its history.
- Photographs, film or recorded material from the original visit.
- A guided activation experience.
- Reflective and embodied awareness activities.
- Selected observations from the field day.
- An accessible introduction to the instruments or recording methods used.
- Journal questions for your own exploration.
- A guided integration session.
- An invitation to record what you noticed before, during and afterwards.
Choose this option if you would like to experience the work without immediately committing to the full year.

Individual journeys can be taken in sequence or selected according to the place or theme that interests you.
Join the Complete 12-Month Virtual Course
Travel through the entire body of fieldwork as a structured year-long experience.
Each month opens a different doorway into the relationship between body, place, perception and participation.
The complete course provides continuity, allowing you to notice patterns that may not be visible during a single experience.
Across the 12 months, you will be invited to explore:
- Your personal baseline and intentions.
- Embodied awareness and nervous-system responses.
- Attention, expectation and perception.
- Relationship with land, water and built environments.
- Individual and group intention.
- Memory, story and cultural association.
- Repeating personal or environmental patterns.
- The difference between subjective experience and recorded measurement.
- Synchronicities and meaningful coincidences.
- Changes that appear—or do not appear—over time.
- Integration into home, work and community life.
- Your own conclusions at the end of the journey.
The course is designed to be followed month by month. You will not need to consume everything at once or keep up with a frantic timetable.
This is slow research by design.
The Full Course Includes
- Twelve guided virtual field journeys.
- Activation and integration activities for every journey.
- A downloadable participant journal.
- Recorded site material.
- Monthly reflection questions.
- Accessible explanations of the observations and measurements.
- Opportunities to submit your own reflections.
- Live online gatherings on selected dates.
- A final review of your year.
- A personal completion certificate.
Join a New 2027 Site Visit
For those who want to experience the work directly, selected new field visits will take place during 2027.
These are small, carefully facilitated gatherings in which participants can explore a place through guided awareness, observation and shared activity.
Each field journey follows three stages.
Activation
Held shortly before the visit.
The activation introduces the location, establishes personal intentions and prepares participants to notice their responses without being told what they should experience.
Field Quest
The in-person visit.
Participants explore the location through structured individual, partner and group activities. Depending upon the site and conditions, the day may include silence, sensory awareness, journalling, water observation, intention activities, photography, environmental measurements and Wyrdoscope REG recording.
Integration
Held shortly after the visit.
Participants reflect upon what they noticed, compare their experience with the available observations and consider what—if anything—they wish to carry into their everyday lives.
The Previous Field Journeys
The virtual programme draws upon Live4Energy’s developing body of fieldwork at ancient, historic, natural and community locations.
Journeys have included places such as:
- Cheetham Close.
- Castlerigg Stone Circle.
- Wood Well.
- Radcliffe Tower.
- Chetham Farm.
- Ordsall Hall.
- Meols Sand Dunes.
- Birkrigg Stone Circle.
- Hollinshead Hall and Well.
- Basingwerk Abbey.
- St Dyfnog’s Well.
Each location carries a different combination of landscape, history, human story and environmental conditions.
The purpose is not to declare that a place possesses a particular power.
The purpose is to observe what happens when people enter a place with attention, intention and a willingness to record their experience carefully.
Sites are approached respectfully and in accordance with access conditions, local guidance and environmental responsibilities.
What Happens During a Virtual Month?
Every monthly journey follows a clear rhythm.
Before the Journey
You receive the introduction, activation activity and journal prompts.
You may be invited to record a simple personal baseline, such as your mood, bodily sensations, attention, expectations or sense of connection.
During the Journey
You explore the site material and take part in guided activities from your own location.
You may participate indoors, in a garden or in another safe outdoor space appropriate to the activity.
After the Journey
You complete the integration prompts and reflect upon:
- What you expected.
- What you experienced.
- What changed.
- What remained unchanged.
- What surprised you.
- What alternative explanations may exist.
- What you would like to explore next.
There is no “correct” experience to report.
A quiet month, a confusing month or a month in which nothing unusual appears is still valuable information.
Observation, Measurement and Open Questions
L.E.S.S.™ Is More sits at the meeting point between lived experience, embodied awareness, environmental observation and exploratory research.
Depending upon the journey, material may include:
- Participant journals.
- Personal baseline and completion observations.
- Time-stamped field notes.
- Water total dissolved solids readings.
- Practitioner-led dowsing observations.
- Wyrdoscope random event generator data.
- Environmental information.
- Photographs and video.
- Participant-reported coincidences or synchronicities.
- Patterns that may warrant further exploration.
These different forms of information are not treated as though they are scientifically equivalent.
Participant reports describe personal experience.
A total dissolved solids meter measures electrically conductive dissolved substances in water; it does not measure consciousness or “energy.”
Dowsing is included as an exploratory, practitioner-led method and is not presented as an established scientific measurement.
Random event generator results can be examined statistically, but individual variations do not by themselves demonstrate cause, intention or paranormal influence.
We distinguish between:
- What a participant reports.
- What an instrument records.
- What a practitioner observes.
- What can reasonably be concluded.
- What remains unknown.
Curiosity is welcome.
Exaggerated certainty is not required.
