14th – Myth, History & Earth Energies: Seeking the Wisdom of the Ancients to Illuminate the Challenges of Our Time with Millie Jackdaw
In 1996, Millie had a mystical encounter that set her on a quest that she is following to this day. Along the way, she has studied and performed Welsh myths and explored the landscape in which they are set. A broader picture has emerged and that has shifted her perspective on the modern world and the human condition. Millie will share her insights, poetry and stories.
28th – Non-Violence as a Path for Liberation with Michelle Asher
In this talk, Michelle Asher explores non-violence as a living path toward personal and collective liberation. Grounded in the core principles of courage, truth and love, she will share practises that anyone can apply to contribute to collective liberation and a world where reverence for life and all needs mattering are at the heart.

12th – Sound Bath with Alana Bond
Alana from Harmonies for the Heart will guide you through a sonic wave – an infusion of sound using gongs, crystal bowls and Tibetan singing bowls – creating a meditative experience where you’re ‘bathed’ in sound waves. These frequencies are specifically chosen to encourage alpha and theta brainwave states, which are associated with deep rest and healing. There is nothing for you to ‘do’ except lay back, breath and let the acoustic resonance do the work!
26th – The Relevance of Ceremony and Blessings to River Stewardship with Kate Dineen
Kate is a shamanic interfaith celebrant whose main source of training was in the Andes. Her joy is in aligning this wisdom with the land and mythology of where she lives in Gloucestershire in the UK. Ceremonies are an ancient and powerful form of meaningful gathering and can be used to celebrate all occasions and transitions in life.

He’ll share shamanic practices and the importance of the Kundalini as the Secret Fire for the transmutation within Alchemy. If you are interested in Magick, Alchemy, Yoga and how the Kundalini is the key to unlocking all three, then come along to this deep dive into the Way of the Serpent.
