Early bird price of £95, moving to £120 on 1st July.

Step out of the safety net with this challenging deep dive into the Feral Feminine.

You were not designed to feel small. You were not shaped to carry shame. Menstruation is not a curse, and your body is an altar for the divine feminine.

Explore myths and magic of the Wild Feminine. From Red Ochre tombs to the Sacred W***e, we follow the red thread, witnessing the role of women down the ages.

And then we step up and we reclaim.

Expect stories and fire and drums and ritual and song. Prepare for the possibility of anger and tears and joy and reclamation . There may be shifts. Big shifts.

Snacks and herbal tea provided but please bring a bottle of water and your own lunch.

NB if you have mobility issues, pls DM me for a chat before booking

Today is World Bee Day 🐝

Bees play a vital role in supporting healthy ecosystems and maintaining biodiversity. From pollinating wildflowers to supporting the growth of trees and plants, they are an essential part of our natural landscape.

There are many simple ways people can help support bees. Leaving areas of grass and wildflowers to grow naturally, planting pollinator-friendly flowers, avoiding pesticides where possible, and providing shallow water sources can all make a positive difference for our pollinators. 🐝

World Bee Day is an important reminder of the value of protecting the species that help our natural spaces flourish.
