Events and Groups

​Some details about our events

• Some of our events are on Zoom, some are at the Fireside Lodge, and some are a combination of both. This gives us the opportunity to keep working during the pandemic, and to stay connected with far-away friends.
• Indoor events are limited to five participants, so that everybody has enough space to work at a safe distance.
• ​Advanced sign-up is crucial to reserve your place. Once you signed up, please make sure that you can come or give at least 1 weeks notice. If not, you may take away somebody's place. 
• Cost: During the pandemic, the circles and groups are at a "pay-what-you-can" rate. The usual price is £15 (you may also make an extra donation to support others). The workshops have a different price structure, you can find it on the respective pages. 

Working on Zoom 
We love sitting in circle together - sometimes we can do it in person a the Fireside Lodge, sometimes on Zoom. 
Zoom meetings work very well; it may take a bit of getting used to it, but most people are amazed and pleased how well it works for them.  As most of our healing and meditation methods work 'outside' of our usual sense of time and space anyway, it is easy to create a shared energy circle remotely. Do not shy away if you are no technology savvy;  we can help you set up. Below is a participant's feedback:

"The Autumn Equinox Ceremony was a rich and powerful celebration with others, made possible by Zoom. From the warmth and safety of my own home, I journeyed far, guided expertly by Andrea, in a beautifully constructed ceremony. We celebrated the autumn and prepared for the winter to come. I left feeling clear and calm, and continue to experience the sustaining energy that comes with this work at its best. Highly recommended." ​​Julie 27 Sept 2020
