DETAILS: As you journey through the land, we trace our footsteps as a soul journey. We find the bird shrines of Crow, Kestrel, Buzzard and Magpie. Here, in honour and respect we reach out to the wisdom and inspiration of their unique spirit flight; carrying us on darkened wings of freedom to the ancestors, to healing, to wisdom and to prophecy. This is an intensive workshop that runs from Midnight to Sunset. We make both a physical and spiritual journey through the land, stopping at the bird shrines to understand further and more fully our soul connections that inspire us, hold us, bind us. Using shamanic journeying, meditation, ritual, creativity and profound silence.

This workshop is non-residential but there is a campsite located within walking distance: Oldbury Hill Campsite

The Druid Camp is the biggest annual gathering of the Druid community in Britain.

Running over four days every July, the Camp was first held in the summer of 2000. Organized by Emma Restall Orr of The Druid Network and Mark Graham of The Charnwood Grove, the aim of The Druid Camp is to celebrate and develop the community of modern Druidry.

Everyone is welcome! There are Druids and those studying the tradition through many different Orders, teachers and strands of Druidry. There are people who follow other nature-based spiritualities and philosophies. There are those simply interested or curious who are seeking a community or gathering of like-minded souls.

The camp is held in beautiful surroundings in the Forest of Dean, on the south Welsh border. In a stretch of meadows, edged by streams, woodland and fields, its tranquility seeps through every moment of the Camp.

This group will be working together at a profound level, preparing for and sharing a very special all-night ceremonial vigil in the lavvu (reindeer herders tent with a fire) deepening our connection with our ancestral and inner landscapes, and finding our own ancient chant and song from the cold land.

A chance to instigate a maturing of our journey and travel through mysteries of our ancient ancestral land to a place of silent strength and wild soul expression. This workshop is suitable for those who have some previous experience of, and who are willing to undertake some measure of physical and spiritual challenge.
