Come and share a turning of the wheel on The Cycle of the Year sessions, or as many as you can, and see where it takes you.

Cycle of the Year Sessions

We will create a supportive circle, using the Celtic Cycle as our guide, to discover more about ourselves, our rhythms, and how we reflect or resist the Natural flow. By marking the day creatively we become more intimately connected to the Earth, and find ways to bring harmony into our lives.

Venue will vary according to ceremony, weather etc. Most times will involve having a fire for warmth, tea, atmosphere and Ceremony.
8 sessions. Each can be individually booked.    Times: all 9.30am---2.30pm

Cost: £35 or £30 when 4 sessions are booked. Bring food to share.

Lucy’s special connection with Westley Farm

Twenty years ago, when my children were very young I felt the need to be part of a sharing group but one with its roots in Nature. There were four of us who got together, and for 13 years we met to ‘turn the wheel’ in our willow bender which we wove together, and with kind permission of Julian and Hege, sited in the woods at Westley Farm. We went through so much together in those years, always with the seasons to mark where we were, and helping us to find insight through corresponding inner cycles.  We shared joy and grief with each other and the Earth, and it awoke in us wisdom, understanding and clarity.

After our group disbanded, I continued in my practice and share it with my husband, as well as with individuals who come to my studio for 1:1 sessions. Sharing this practice is what I am bound to do and I love to coax others into forming their own groups and unearthing their individual ways to creatively connect with the Earth and all that it inspires in us, including a sense of gratitude and a means to express it.

So here’s a start....
