Ireland 2002 Workshop

Ireland Workshop 2003

Athgreany Stone Circle

Come with us for another strange journey through the faery kingdoms and meet the great Mother Earth in her own realm. Our first magical walk through the forest could not have been on a better day. It was warm with bright sunshine in the middle of the Irish winter. Small patches of bright green scattered across the sleeping forest. This next event will be in the full bloom of Ireland's spring and is sure to be stunning. The forest is wide awake at this time with all its creatures, both visible and invisible to the unaided eye.

These events have a life all their own and we never know what surprises are in store for us. The great weather was a gift but a surprise visit from some good friends was even better. You never know who may show up.

Several years ago, I was at a very private shamanistic gathering in the forest. I'd been hanging out with some of the local Druid types and a few of the more way-out citizens of those parts. We took part in an old ceremony whereby they call in the wisdom of the trees as a special teaching. It's a link they have forged over the years to the fairy kingdoms and the inner dimensions of nature's spiritual evolution."

County Wicklow

County Wicklow

We will host this event in County Wicklow, known as the "Garden of Ireland". With its rolling hills, deep valleys, domed granite mountains, bogland, forest and farmland, the setting should be ideal for our adventure through the mists that shroud these hidden lands. Nestled in the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains, we will be staying for the 4 nights at an elegant Georgian house, built as an agent's house for the Marquis of Waterford in 1830. Set in its own tree studded rolling parklands, a long avenue winds up through fields and paddocks from the small village below.

During our time together we will enjoy an evening of music by a pair of local Celtic musicians, explore the ancient secrets of the Celts and Druids, and meet some truly far-out people. Hold on to your seats for this one!

Please note that we will be engaging in some very powerful shamanic practices and this event may not be appropriate for those who are looking for a quiet weekend of meditation or have reservations about entering these inner dimensions. We reserve the right to accept or decline applicants at our sole discretion.
