JANUARY
DATE: TBC VENUE: Coldrum
Stones Neolithic Long Barrow, Trottiscliffe, Kent COST:
TBC DETAILS: As
with all our soul journeys we start in the darkness of the North, the
womb tomb, here we meet Crow. The Crow People are those who know the
mysteries of the thin edge we walk between life and death. Here we also find the Bone
Singers. Crow carries us on darkened wings of spirit flight, to the
realm of the Ancestors. In
the barrow chamber we bless our clay bowls, the belly of earth that
holds ancestral stories. This is
the first workshop in a series of four. They can be completed in the
sequence they are offered or individually. However if you can complete
the whole cycle, then the soul journey can flow to a more profound
depth.
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. 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.

Park Wood, Tonbridge, Kent COST:
TBC DETAILS: We emerge from the
dark womb tomb to the first crack of light of the dawning of our new
journey in the East, here we meet Kestrel. The Kestrel People are those who
know the mysteries of vision and inspiration, here we find the Seer
Dream-Weavers, whose messages bring us clarity of vision. In an
Pine wood we will make our oracles, holding the symbolic patterns
and fragments of Nature's whisper. This is
the second workshop in a series of four. They can be completed in the
sequence they are offered or individually. However if you can complete
the whole cycle, then the soul journey can flow to a more profound
depth.

DATE: TBC VENUE: Trosley
Woods, Vigo Village, Kent COST:
TBC DETAILS: As we continue on the
wing along ancestral roads, the noon day sun bakes earth and skin,
here in the South, on the warm rising air currents, we meet circling Buzzard. The Buzzard
People are those who know the mysteries of creativity, manifesting the
Awen that flows through them, on the land, for the land, here we find
the Spirit Dancers, carrying us on the rhythm of life to a place of deep
connection. In open woodland we
will make our Buzzard Calling Drum, whose beat moves our soul to the
rhythm of land, ancestors and the gods of our hills. This is
the third workshop in a series of four. They can be completed in the

SEPTEMBER
DATE: TBC VENUE: TBC COST:
TBC DETAILS: Soon our journey is to
come full circle, the sun sinks low upon the horizon as the magic of
twilight takes hold in the West, here we meet Magpie. The Magpie People are
those who know the mysteries of soul healing, the spirit essence of
plant and its relationship to human soul, here we find the
Soul-Healers, who bring about healing on many levels. In the presence
of an ancient spring we will make our plant spirit incense and drift with
courage and an warriors hearts to the healing of awakening to the flow
of life, love and land. This is
the fourth and final workshop in a series of four. They can be completed
