This Summer Solstice we are calling in all who yearn for a wild and awakening gathering to honour the transformative, creative and healing power of the Solstice and to celebrate together in connected community.

This gathering is a radical dance with traditions and practices that cleanse, nourish, enrich and deepen our experience with life for a profound shedding of old skins and empowered rebirth.

We will move through elemental wisdom, life’s seasons and aspects of the Self, rising each morning with somatic practices to awaken the language of the body, journeying through creative workshops, sacred ceremony and ritual into nourishing night time practices of rejuvenation and integration.

Nestled in the Dorset countryside with forest, meadow, a natural pool and a beautiful beach a short drive away, we will have the space to express, digest, grow and revive our deepest sense of joy and harmony with life.

This is a celebration of our existence, a prayer for our world and a dance with timeless union.

Instructors

Veronica

Veronica is a somatic healing guide, voice facilitator, multidisciplinary artist, dream-worker and ritualist, who honours a path of ancient remembrance rooted in earth wisdom and reciprocity. She seeks to reconnect others back to their innate sense of intimacy, awe and creativity with the living world and the great mystery or spirit – bringing deep healing and reviving interconnectivity with our inner and outer landscapes. With over a decade of training, initiation and cross disciplinary experience, she understands the boundless possibility of using sacred medicines, the body and the voice to access life changing transformation.

Dorrie

Dorrie Joy is a multidisciplinary artist, ancestral craftswomen, herbalist, space holder and educator, influenced by her almost 30 years of initiation and intimate training with indigenous women and elders in many areas of ancient craft and ceremony. She offers drum making as a ceremonial, initiatory journey of homecoming, affirmation, celebration and belonging.

Carly

An explorer and advocate for mental health awareness and the therapeutic use of psychedelics, Carly weaves her work immersed in ancient, indigenous shamanic practices across Latin America with her ever curious flare for modern advancements in therapeutic psychedelic research, curating events across the UK with the Psychedelic Society and offering her own facilitation as a professionally trained Tantra Yoga teacher and experienced space holder. Carly celebrates the elusive bridge connecting science and spirit and sees great potential when we marry the two for healing and our collective evolution.

She has spent 13 years in her work with the temazcal, tobacco & medicine ceremony and vision quest, in Wales, Spain and Israel. She received permission and blessing to carry these mystical altars and designs, and to pour the first medicine of the sweet water from Carmen Vicente, chief, teacher and medicine woman from Ecuador, after completing four years of Vision Quest with her. She now holds a lodge at her home in Carmarthen and facilitates tobacco ceremonies in the homes of those who call for them.
