Seasons of the Soul

Deep in my heart

I carry a seed

That grows daily in silence

When it is ripe, I will be home

And my restless pulse will find its rest

Hermann Hesse

​

Introduction

 

Welcome to "Seasons of the Soul," a transformative series of workshops designed for you to reconnect with the natural cycles and ever changing energies of the seasons. If you are looking to restore balance to your life, this is the journey for you. 

​

For thousands of years our ancestors knew about the dynamic and restorative power of these key transition points throughout the solar year, coming together in community to celebrate and commemorate their wonders. We lost this connection in our modern and often frenetic world, caught up in responding to false rhythms that divert us from our true selves. 

 

Through this programme we can reclaim this connection, find space to nurture our soul and move towards a simpler way of being. You will find solace in rediscovering these practices especially through these uncertain and ever changing times.

​​

What to expect

​

In this programme we will:  

• Create a space where we can slow down from the everyday pressures of our lives, to reconnect with earth's natural rhythms and find a place for our true nature to emerge

• We will move at a pace that suits you. This can be deep work that brings about transformational change moving through your blockages and barriers to weave new healthy life patterns and unlock your potential and creativity

• Celebrate the 8 key transition points found in the Celtic calendar, aligning with its ebbs and flows, to create your own unique pathway to revisit in years to come

• Explore the Ogham calendar, utilising the wisdom of native trees, working with their energies and healing properties throughout the year

• Use a variety of creative methods and tools, including meditations, drumming, myth and storytelling to take us deeper into our own true nature to where we can weave a new story for ourselves
