Celebrating our lives - A Seasonal Circle

Nature is Abundant ,the grain has been gathered in and the fruit is ripe on the trees. This is the Ancient Harvest festival of Lammas, a time be together around the fire.

This is one of a series of circles, with themes inspired by the Seasons and based upon the Celtic Wheel of the year. As nature changes, so do we.

A held space to reflect on our lives, it's gifts and its challenges and to share any stories that want to be told.


Why Seasonal Circles?

To practise the arts of deep listening and authentic heartful sharing. Skills that can beneficially impact all our relationships

By connecting to both the outward and inward phases of the year we develop more resilience in navigating the ups and downs of life

To follow in the footsteps of our indigenous ancestors who gathered together at these times

Time out from the busyness of our everyday lives, time for becoming present to what is in the moment.

An antidote to isolation, overwhelm and to hierachial power structures!

Circles give us time to connect more deeply with our own truth and help us develop greater compassion and empathy for others.

A space for every voice to be heard and valued.

In our time together we will sit around the fire in a beautiful woodland glade and practise the art of deep listening and share our stories.
