Solstice and EquinoxSolstice and Equinox - the cycles of nature and the turning of the year - are good occasions to celebrate our lives, our connection to each other and to the earth. We will conduct fire ceremonies, we will chant and drum, share stories and poems, sit in silence and in darkness, walk in the woods and dance in the moon light.
You don't need any experience - just an open heart and interest in ancient ceremony and circle work. Invited are Lightworkers of all walks of life:

Summer Solstice
The longest day! This ceremony is about the 'heath' of the summer: Our passion and engagement with life and our connection with nature. Celebrating abundance and the presence of magic and wonder in our life. Nurturing our inner child who wants to play with the fairies in the mid-summer night. Being wild and dancing barefoot in the grass.
When: Sunday, 19th June 2022 Time: 3.30 to ca. 6pm (with a voluntary social gathering after the ceremony). Please do not make any arrangements immediately after the ceremony, so that you do not have to rush away Cost: £18, pay in advance (non-refundable) Where: Fireside Lodge, Hanwell. |
Winter Solstice
These are the shortest days and the returning of the light. An ideal time to make changes in our life; honouring the past year, letting go of what we no longer need, forgiving and moving on. Inviting the light back into our lives and nurturing new ideas and new ways of being. A journey into the dark of the 12 mid-winter nights and a fire ceremony to let go and reconnect to our inner light.
When: Sunday, 11th December 2022 Time: 3.30 to ca. 6pm (with a voluntary social gathering after the ceremony). Please do not make any arrangements immediately after the ceremony, so that you do not have to rush away Cost: £18, pay in advance (non-refundable) Where: Fireside Lodge, Hanwell. |
Spring Equinox
Equinox is about balance - the day and night are equal. As we are moving towards the longer days, the increasing light may bring new visions. At the ceremony, we will plant new seeds, celebrate new ideas, creativity and fertility. We will gain new energy and passion for our path. We will journey with Hare - the expert of spring. And we will learn the song of the Morning Sun, which can help us heal and grow.

Autumn Equinox
Equinox is about balancing energies; and now it is time for the abundance of the harvest; being proud of what we have achieved, manifesting, sharing, celebrating. It is also the time when we start looking inside again; re-claiming the spirit womb of Grandmother Bear, where we will rest in winter. We will journey to remember the ancient knowledge of the rocks - which we carry deep inside and we can access now.
When: Sunday, 25th September 2022 Time: 3.30 to ca. 6pm (with a voluntary social gathering after the ceremony). Please do not make any arrangements immediately after the ceremony, so that you do not have to rush away. Cost: £18 pay in advance (non-refundable) Where: Fireside Lodge, Hanwell. |
