MAY retreat. On land of ancient stone and mountain, where echoes of long ago footsteps tread but a moment away and rituals of old still hold strong, we will weave from the wisdom of our Ancestors, honouring their place in this great story we are dreaming.
Stories are never greater than when they are heard, are never more beautiful than when they are honoured, and never more than when they are told with spirit.
Come wear your story with the ancient threads it bares......
A small and intimate retreat for storytellers with some experience of journeying and with a good connection to their spirit guides.
Staying in a 300 year old farmhouse and Bach, the cost of this wonderful retreat is to include vegetarian food, refreshments and all workshops. Journeying will be in the yurt.
Spaces are limited so early booking is highly recommended, a £50 non returnable deposit is required at time of booking to confirm space. TEL: Lisa on 07790 552293 NOW FULLY BOOKED
